Hi, David
I assume that your problem is with vector data. What update of GRASS are 
you using? There was a fix to ps.map that should solve your problem; I'm 
not sure if it is separately available on the moon or not. If you are 
running pre-Update 5, I suggest getting and installing the latest version 
of GRASS.
