[GRASSLIST:5758] Problems with the .dxf format from Illustrator

Hi folks,

I¹ve been having trouble importing contour lines I¹ve created in Adobe
Illustrator to GRASS vector lines.  I¹ve been trying to export them to .dxf
format then using v.in.dxf.  I had someone else take a look at the files.
They noted the message ³Following dxf layers found:²  then nothing.  He was
able to put them on a microstation that he uses for CAD work and was able to
reexport them to dxf format.  He was then able to use BBEdit to change the
format from Macintosh to UNIX.  That was, BTW, something I was unable to do.

Is there something odd about the way Adobe Illustrator exports .dxf files?
If there is, could someone recommend a work-around?
