Comment (by helena):

 I just got a report that when GRASS is installed under C:\Program Files
 "Add vector" causes python.exe to crash for WinGRASS64 r41105 and
 WinGRASS65 r41099.

 There is no problem if it is installed under C:\Grass64.
 The feedback that I am getting from WinGRASS users here is that they
 prefer GRASS installed under
 its own directory, such as C:\Grass64.
 I have no opinion on this as I am not a Windows user and I can imagine
 that the preferences
 would differ for users with different backgrounds, but maybe the previous
 approach under C:\GRASS... was less problematic?[[BR]]
