(we need more of this, thanks)

is this the one fixed by Marin yesterday?

I will try to hijack a PC in the office at lunch to confirm.
AFAIK all shell scripts just worked. The only problematic
ones were the wrapper scripts in $GISBASE/etc/gui/scripts/
which had either (not sure which) PATH, PYTHONPATH, PATHEXT,
or post-parser-can't-find-it-anymore problems.

grass65:

develbranch_6/lib/imagery$ grep G_getl *
ls_groups.c:    while (G_getl(buf, sizeof(buf), ls)) {
ls_groups.c:    while (G_getl(buf, sizeof(buf), ls)) {
points.c:    while (G_getl(buf, sizeof buf, fd)) {
title.c:        G_getl(title, n, fd);

develbranch_6/lib/imagery$ grep fgets *
group.c:    while (fgets(buf, sizeof buf, fd)) {

so, yes.

beware if def'n of buffer size of n or n-1 may differ, and
if return type is a little different (I think that's mainly
between fgets() and G_getl2(), but not sure)
