[GRASS-dev] Change in parser behavior?

[Michael Barton]

Hamish

It *looks* like changing all options to lower case fixed this. It is  
NOT an r.terraflow issue because the options are not getting parsed  
before they ever get to r.terraflow.

Do you know when this happened? Your email posting was in April of  
this year. It is important to find out when this stopped working for a  
paper Isaac, Helena, and I are about to send in.

BTW, all the grass trac addresses (ttp://trac.osgeo.org/grass and the  
like) produce an Internal Server Error. Is the GRASS trac site out?
