Comment (by neteler):

 The suggested patch looks good:

 {{{
 # NC dataset
 v.external medfacs.shp out=medfacs layer=medfacs

 # unpatched:
 GRASS 6.4.0svn (nc_spm_08):~/books/kluwerbook/data3rd/wake > v.to.db
 medfacs option=area columns=AREA
 Reading areas...
 Segmentation fault

 # patched:
 GRASS 6.4.0svn (nc_spm_08):~/books/kluwerbook/data3rd/wake > v.to.db
 medfacs option=area columns=AREA
 Reading areas...
 ERROR: Table has no columns
 }}}

 It may not be immediate to derive the problem in this particular case but
 a healthy test.
 Please submit and I'll backport.
