v.digit problems: STILL

[William Voigt]

This is my second try at getting a response, so those who knew the
answer and  figured someone else would respond, you were wrong.  Nows
your chance.  
Equipment: Pentium 66 Mhz, linux slackware 2.0 (1.0.8 kernel), grass 4.1
compiled from latest source code (including upgrade 4).  16 Mb RAM.

The problem:

	I have a dig file (in binary mode) that I want to modify with
v.digit.  I run v.digit from the grass prompt, answer (3) for no
digitizer, type in the (correct) filename [I 'list'ed the elegible files
beforehand]  and when I get the prompt to continue type 'y'.  The screen
responds with a message that its plotting the file & hangs.  The
graphics monitor is erased to black, but nothing appears.  ^C & ^Z are
not effective, however, when I destroy the shell window, the requested
vector file is then displayed on the monitor.   

Possible source of the problem:
	I have had this problem since I cp'd files from one disk to the
other (whch was mounted as a directory) e.g. 
cp -R /usr/grass /mnt/usr/grass

I bit the bullet the other day & recompiled grass, but to no avail. 
I've tried to find any & all information on v.digit, but cannot locate
any type of troubleshooting guides.  Is anyone able to help.  

	I anxiously await your replies.  Thanks
