[GRASSLIST:3099] Re: segmentation fault with GDAL

[Scott Mitchell]

Actually, my test file was a gif, but still no spatial ref, so I assume 
that's the same idea.  I did include the 1.2.0 GDAL lib in the binary 
distribution, soft linking to it with the generic library name 
(libgdal.so.1 in this case).

Soo... not clear to me what that means - that the bug that you fixed in 
the release branch IS the culprit here, so that the solution would be 
"non-5.0.3?"

I agree that there's limited utility in worrying too much about 5.0.3, 
but am happy to try a simple fix if there is one.
