 Requirements:
 - GRASS GIS 7.0.0svn (r63888)

 Process:

 1. Download this TIGER census file (pardon French):
    :
 http://www2.census.gov/geo/tiger/TIGER2010DP1/Tract_2010Census_DP1.zip
    : Longueur: 409901240 (391M) [application/zip]
    : Sauvegarde en : «Tract_2010Census_DP1.zip»
 2. Import it
    : db.connect driver=pg database=portal-total
    : v.in.ogr
 dsn=/home/powellj/gisdata/Tract_2010Census_DP1/Tract_2010Census_DP1.shp
 output=tract2010censusdp1

 3. Add it to the Map layers in the GUI.

 4. Then click on "Show attribute data for selected vector map" in the GUI.

 What I expect to see:

 The attribute table for the census map.

 What happens instead:

 1. Please wait, loading attribute data... (for 45 seconds or so)
 2. Then a window titled "GRASS GIS Attribute Manager - <tract20..." opens,
    with the text "Loading data..." in the bottom left of it.  On top of
 this,
    centered, is a modal dialog box with a red circle in it, with a white
 bar through
    that circle, and a button reading OK and /nothing else/.  No text at
 all.
 3. When I click OK on that to dismiss it, after another 10 seconds,
 another modal
    dialog box appears.  This one has text, which reads "Inconsistent
 number of
    columns in the table <Tract2010cebsysdp1>".

 I researched this, but only found http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/ticket/1633
 which is a 20-month old bug involving the pipe character in field names.
 My
 field names are extremely plain, no pipes.
