In GRASS 6.3.0 I get:

[with --verbose to show column scan results (my feeling is to move 
that back to the standard messages because it is so helpful in self-
debugging)]

Scanning input for column types...
Maximum input row length: 35
Maximum number of columns: 4
Minimum number of columns: 4
Column: 1 type: double
Column: 2 type: double
Column: 3 type: double
Column: 4 type: string length: 8
Importing points...
Populating table...
Building topology ...
108 primitives registered      
....


but in GRASS 6.4.0rc4, 6.5 I get:
Scanning input for column types...
Maximum input row length: 35
Maximum number of columns: 10
Minimum number of columns: 4
Column: 1 type: double
Column: 2 type: double
Column: 3 type: double
Column: 4 type: string length: 8
Column: 5 type: string length: 0
Column: 6 type: string length: 0
Column: 7 type: string length: 0
Column: 8 type: string length: 0
Column: 9 type: string length: 0
Column: 10 type: string length: 0
Importing points...
 100%
Populating table...
dbmi: Protocol error


Minimum number of columns: 4 -> 10


I don't know which should be "right" or "wrong", but the change possibly
happened here:
