Comment:

 I still get "Error reading categories" with vectors that have layers other
 than 1.

 I'm using GRASS version 6.4.0svn on my Ubuntu laptop (w/ GNU sed version
 4.1.5), and I fixed the problem by replacing

 {{{
 sed -e 's/^\([PLBCFKA]\)/#\1/' -e 's/^ 1     /# 1  /'
 }}}
 with

 {{{
 sed -r -e 's/^[PLBCFKA]/#&/' -e 's/^ [1-9]+  /#&/'
 }}}
 on line 253 of the
 [http://svn.osgeo.org/grass/grass/branches/releasebranch_6_4/scripts/v.out.gpsbabel/v.out.gpsbabel
 v.out.gpsbabel script]. (The problem sed command is also used in
 v.out.gpsbabel for 6.5-svn, and in v.out.gps for 7.0-svn.)

 I've had no problems since I did this, but I'm not sure if it would work
 for everyone.
