There was a bug in the file src/mapdev/Vlib/level_two.c that existed
for a short time between update 4 and update 5.  Although it was
fixed and made it into the update_package 5, at the time the
s5.cpio* files were created, the bug was still there.  So a diff
on the file included in the update_package vs. the file in the s5*
source results in:
176,177d175
<       fclose(map->dig_fp);
<       map->dig_fp=NULL;

If you downloaded the s5* source, the bug is still there, but if
you applied the update_package, you should be OK.  I assume the
binaries should be OK since they were probably done after the
source & update package, but haven't tried them.

solution:
1. Replace the file src/mapdev/Vlib/level_two.c with the
   version from the update package or get the file level_two.c from 
   ftp://moon.cecer.army.mil/grass/incoming

2. Recompile src/mapdev/v.build

OR:
there are binaries for v.build at:
ftp://moon.cecer.army.mil/grass/incoming/v.build.sgi.Z
ftp://moon.cecer.army.mil/grass/incoming/v.build.sun4

you can download one of these, make it executable, and put it in
$GISBASE/etc
