I then wanted to export these polys to a shapefile to clean them up in another software package. For some reason v.out.ogr runs very slowly when exporting areas and after a while stops processing altogether. No such problems when exporting area boundaries, but I would really like to create a polygon shapefile. Has anyone seen this problem before? Any suggestions for an alternative way to get the data out of Grass and into a shapefile?

Probably because areas were created as WKT and then converted to WKB,
I have changed that to create directly WKB and it reduced time
form 16s to 1s for my test data. Try CVS.
