 That helps a lot !

 Without (i.e. grass70) my machine became unusable for a while and then the
 module execution stopped after a bit more than 5 minutes because of too
 little memory. With the fix (grass73) it went all the way to 100% of
 writing areas (17 minutes on my machine), but then I got an error
 "Category index is not up to date".

 I used r.to.vect -vb as I want to preserve category values of the raster
 file.

 However, my colleague's problem was not in the vectorization stage, but in
 the topology building stage. I'm currently testing with -vt and
 VECTOR_LOW_MEM=1. It's been running for about 1 h. I'll see tomorrow what
 the result is...

 I'll also try with -vb, followed by v.build.
