Greetings,

I hoping someone can help me with this. 

I'm having a few problems with v.support.  Occasionally, v.support will return
errors when run after editing linework. Upon exiting v.digit, I run v.support to
build new topology and get the following error messages:

I end up with a map with numerous open areas. Im running GRASS 4.1.2 on Linux
1.0 with 16 Megs RAM & 14 Megs of swap.  File size is around 10 megs. I've not 
seen this behavior with GRASS4.0 before - does anyone have any ideas what's 
going wrong?. I've also seen v.support fail on a regular basis after using 
v.proj to move data between UTM and albers projections. Other than these
instances it seems to work fine. 

On another subject - is it possible to change the colors of the bounding box 
used for zooming both inside and outside of v.digit?  My box always seems to
be a variation of black on black.  Kinda hard to see.

Any advice is appreciated.  Thanks for all replies.
