 Hi,

 latest OSGeo4W binary install of 6.4.0rc3 on windows xp.

 using the wxpython GUI.

 Spearfish: add vector map

 select roads. (or any other map)
 don't even press [ok].

 pop up error:
 {{{
 window title: Error in command execution db.describe.exe

 Execution failed 'db.describe.exe -c --q table=roads driver=dbf
 database=C:/DocumentsandSettings/Hamish/grassdata/spearfish60/PERMANENT/dbf/'

 Details:
 Error: Unable to open database
 <C:/DocumentsandSettings/Hamish/grassdata/spearfish60/PERMANENT/dbf/>
 }}}

 perhaps it is something to do with the spaces being stripped out of
 "DocumentsandSettings" ??


 after that the map renders ok, but I get the same error if I try to query
 the vector map.

 querying the elevation.10m raster map spits out some error messages to the
 output window but then scrolls away and gives good data. (sorry already
 gone, no cut&paste)
