 v.db.addtable consistently fails but returns no error message.  When I try
 to use this command at the Windows Grass Command Line (Windows shell), I
 always get an empty shell prompt:

 ---------
 GRASS 6.4.0svn (spearfish60)> v.db.addtable map=mysoils layer=2 col="left
 intege
 r,right integer"
 "C:/GRASS-6-SVN/msys/bin/sh.exe"-2.04$
 ---------

 The only apparent way to proceed it to type 'exit' at the shell prompt and
 the command will terminate without creating a table.  I am trying to
 reproduce the script in the documentation for v.to.db
 (http://grass.itc.it/grass64/manuals/html64_user/v.to.db.html - "Upload
 category numbers of left and right area, to an attribute table of
 boundaries common for the areas").

 This error is consistent whatever data I try and use, whether it is the
 demo Spearfish60, North-Carolina or some other data.

 I have reproduced the same error on two independent installations of
 winGrass on two different machines (both using the same pre-compiled
 binaries).

 I have tried switching to sqlite (same error).  I have tried re-installing
 winGrass.
