I need just a little more than this to go on. If anyone has problems,
send me an example file. It would also be nice to know machine/OS info, 
too. (I get the same answers as SAS here on different machines and 
operating systems).

I suspect that it's related to parsing of the description field.
I cannot find any documented standards or GRASS library functions for
parsing this field. Maybe I need to make the desc parsing routine 
smarter, but if you have records like:

1|16|#8 11.170000

instead of the default

1|16|11.170000

then you should use the -l option:

s.univar -l file

(this is all explained in the man page). For records like

1|16|#11

or 

1|16|# 11.170000

(as Anantha Prasad gave), I fail to see the point of the # sign.
However, if this *another* valid format, perhaps some changes
are in order.
