 build GRASS6.5 from source, svn 36355, in the osgeo4w-tree on Win Vista

 i started Grass 6.5 from the Osgeo4W-Shell
 after setting correct debug=3 and tried the above v.db.addcol-command.

 now the column seems to be added:

 db.columns --verbose table=mygeodetic_pts
 cat
 OBJECTID
 [..]
 SCALE
 ANGLE
 zvala <=
 zvalb <=

 and

 db.describe table=mygeodetic_pts
 [...]
 column:zvalb
 description:
 type:DOUBLE PRECISION
 len:20
 scale:6
 precision:18
 default:
 nullok:yes
 select:yes
 update:yes

 but i tried it again from the wx-gui-command-line, there is the first
 error again:

 v.db.addcol mygeodetic_pts col="zvalc double precision"
 Sorry <double> is not a valid option
 Sorry <precision"> is not a valid option
 [...]

 so adding the osgeo4w-shell would be maybe a part of the solution. but the
 wx-command-line should also work?

 all the best
 Helmut
