 Debian, releasebranch_6_4 r45717.

 Import the attached "a a.shp":

 {{{
 $ v.in.ogr dsn=a\ a.shp output=b
 }}}

 Try some operation on it - e.g:

 {{{
 $ v.info -c b
 Displaying column types/names for database connection of layer 1:
 DBMI-DBF driver error:
 Cannot create dbf database: cat /home/grassdata/spearfish60/PERMANENT/dbf/


 ERROR: Unable to open database <cat
        /home/grassdata/spearfish60/PERMANENT/dbf/> by driver <d
 }}}

 That's because the table link is bogus:

 {{{
 $ v.db.connect -p b
 Vector map <b at PERMANENT> is connected by:
 layer <1> table <a> in database <cat
 /home/grassdata/spearfish60/PERMANENT/dbf/> through driver <dbf> with key
 <b>
 }}}

 which should rather be:

 {{{
 layer <1> table <b> in database
 </home/grassdata/spearfish60/PERMANENT/dbf/> through driver <dbf> with key
 <cat>
 }}}

 The respective dbln file contains:

 {{{
 1/a a b cat $GISDBASE/$LOCATION_NAME/$MAPSET/dbf/ dbf
 }}}

 (Mind the "a a" above, derived from input Shapefile layer name.)

 Does GRASS allow spaces in layer names? If so, maybe use a different
 separator in dbln's?
