 > I am trying to export a vector data with many columns to shape format.
 But it seems it is avoiding all the columns with greater than 10
 characters (from the pattern, not sure). Tried in GRASS 6.4.5, GRASS 7.0
 svn and GRASS 7.1 svn, giving the same error.

 These errors come from GDAL, I think GDAL is now changing column names
 automatically if they are longer than 10 characters. v.out.ogr does not
 handle limitations of the requested output format, this is delegated to
 GDAL.
