[GRASSLIST:5122] v.in.ogring 33MB shapefile eats up whole memory

[Huidae Cho]

Hi,

I tried to import a 33MB shapefile having 23MB dbf with v.in.ogr.
Besides it's really slow, it ended up with memory shortage error.
Yes, the file is somewhat big, but I don't understand why it requires
more than 512MB physical memory + 1GB virtual memory. Is it common?

It is fine with a small shapefile.

I'm using the latest CVS version of 5.7 in Cygwin.

Thanks.
