 yes.

 I also notice that error after fixes to msys.bat I start grass + msys
 terminal from C:\Program Files\GRASS GIS\...


 looking trough "`set`" I don't see anything obviously broken.


 running `v.db.select roads` from the msys command line with DEBUG=5 it
 shows that it gets up to
 {{{
 D2/5: opendir c:/Program Files/GRASS GIS/GRASS-6-SVN\driver\db\
 }}}

 (slash directions verbatim)

 then it locks up the msys terminal.


 that debug message comes from lib/db/dbmi_base/dbmscap.c
