And what is the segment type, what is sent to stdin of v.segment?
Maybe I was too brief. v.segment creates points on the line for given
distance from the beginning. So you must send to stdin something like
P 1 356 24.56
P 2 495 12.31
etc., you need the half of the length which you can get using v.to.db

But I read again your original mail and I think, that it may happen, 
that one line intersects more areas. In that case, would not be better
to convert basins_area to vector and use v.overlay?
