 I have similar problem on MS Windows 2008.

 Running GRASS locally from MSYS works, i.e. I can display a vector map.

 {{{
 landa at GEO1 /osgeo4w/usr/src/grass64_release
 $ ./bin.i686-pc-mingw32/grass64 -wx
 }}}

 Running installed version, GRASS freezes when displaying a vector map.
 Reason is {{{db.describe}}} command which is launched on the background.

 {{{
 GUI D1/1: gcmd.Command(): db.describe -c --q table=archsites driver=dbf
 database=C:\Users\landa\grass data/spearfish60/PERMANENT/dbf/
 UPOZORNÌNÍ: Nelze spustit pøíkaz
 }}}

 When running manually from MSYS

 {{{
 GRASS 6.4> db.describe -c --q table=archsites driver=dbf
 database="C:\Users\landa\grass data/spearfish60/PERMANENT/dbf/"
 Bad file descriptor: Files
 }}}

 The same command works when running the command from OSGeo MSYS

 {{{
 db.describe -c --q table=archsites driver=dbf
 database="C:\Users\landa\grass data/spearfish60/PERMANENT/dbf/"
 ncols: 2
 nrows: 25
 Column 1: cat:INTEGER:11
 Column 2: str1:CHARACTER:30
 }}}

 Any pointers?
