     Type:  defect              |      Status:  new                      
 Priority:  blocker             |   Milestone:  6.4.3                    
Component:  Projections/Datums  |     Version:  svn-releasebranch64      
 Keywords:  v.in.ogr, r.in.ogr  |    Platform:  Unspecified              
      Cpu:  Unspecified         |  
--------------------------------+-------------------------------------------
 Steps to reproduce:
  * create a new location from EPSG code 32636
  * create a new shapefile in QGIS with EPSG code 32736
  * import shapefile with v.in.ogr

 Import should fail as there's a "small" difference between UTM 36N and 36S
 but GRASS just announces "location appears to match" and imports file.

 Blocking release as it might cause hard to catch nastiness later and might
 indicate more serious breakage in projection code matching. Sorry.

 Tested on:
 14th March WinGRASS 6.4.x 55376 (or whatever as it's not possible to copy
 revision number)
