Comment:

 Hi Markus

 Sorry for the late response.. and more sorry even to have to tell you it
 still doesn't work with 6.3.0 :-(.

 As an update, it hangs when starting up via the default GUI and via MSYS.
 However, I can do text-base startup. The g.region -p  command gives me the
 region information, no problem.

 However, when trying gis.m I get as far as the startup screen + output
 screen before it freezes. When killing the g.region everything seems to
 work fine, I can even view the region settings using the region menu, but
 the trouble starts again when trying to change the region or when trying
 to display a map. When killing the g.region process, the map does draw
 though, but even when trying to zoom, or refresh the map, same story
 again.

 I got an error message once (I couldn't replicate it). What it seem to
 show was the code defining a dialog:

 begin_dialog{g.regoin}{
 label{}
 desc{manages the boundary definition for the geographic region.}
 key{general}
 }
 add_flag 1{
 name{d}
 desc{Set from default regoin}
 answer 0
 label{}
 quisection{existing}
 }
 add_flag2{
 .
 .
 etc... till add_flag 12

 Curiously enough (for me anyway), even when the GUI is frozen, I can still
 use the g.region -p command in text-mode.

 Hope this helps in some way to pin down the problem

 Paulo
