Comment:

 the bug appears as follows. r.proj(.seg) has the following check:

 >     if (strcmp(inlocation->answer, G_location()) == 0)
 >         G_fatal_error(_("You have to use a different location for input
 than the current"));

 which fails if the location name is the same in both gisdbases. does it
 work if you leave the location= option blank? (default for mapsets is to
 assume the same, maybe location name too)

 as a solution maybe the code should assemble "%s/%s", indbase->answer,
 inlocation->answer and test that string against G_location_path(). ?
 would that lead to dirsep hell?

 ps- cc'ing yourself is generally not needed, as a bug submitter or
 commenter you should be emailed any change through your osgeo id.
 less spam that way.
