Changes (by lponti):

  * priority:  normal => major


Comment:

 This also happens every time I use a command that has vector output using
 the --overwrite flag, and the output vector already exists, e.g.:


 {{{
 g.copy vect=streets_wake_large,streets_wake_large_tmp
 }}}

 First attempt does not work:

 {{{
 (Thu Oct 28 19:43:11 2010)
 v.select --overwrite ainput=streets_wake_large
 binput=census_extract_all_trt2000 output=streets_wake_large_tmp
 Vector map <streets_wake_large_tmp> already exists and will be overwritten
 Unable to delete file
 'C:\cygwin\home\andy/nc_spm_08/user1/vector/streets_wake_large_tmp/hist'
 ERROR: Unable to delete vector map <streets_wake_large_tmp>
 (Thu Oct 28 19:43:11 2010) Command finished (0 sec)
 }}}

 Second try is fine:

 {{{
 (Thu Oct 28 19:43:33 2010)
 v.select --overwrite ainput=streets_wake_large
 binput=census_extract_all_trt2000 output=streets_wake_large_tmp
 Vector map <streets_wake_large_tmp> already exists and will be overwritten

 Maybe it is an issue of the OS: anybody able to reproduce it on XP? (I
 used same settings as my previous comment.)

 Exactly the same thing happens when using g.remove on
 streets_wake_large_tmp as you need to run the command twice.

 This would mean that the problem is not the wildcards.

 I am changing priority to major because being unable to remove vectors
 seems a serious issue. Please, provide feedback on this.

 Kind regards,

 Luigi
