[GRASSLIST:6315] r.to.vect and resulting cat values

[Dylan Beaudette]

Greetings,

in some experiments with r.to.vect in the mac os X version of GRASS 
6.1-CVS i have found that:

r.to.vect -s -v in=raster out=vector

echo "select * from vector" | db.select
cat|label
1.000000|
2.000000|
3.000000|
4.000000|
5.000000|

... looks like the cat column is not of type INT, when the input raster 
was. this causes problems later on when trying to use v.extract:

v.extract in=vector out=test2 where="cat = 2"
Load cats from the database (table = sc_vect_small_c1, db = 
/Users/dylan1/grassdata/pinn/premap/dbf/).

ERROR: Column 'cat' is not integer
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

the resulting vector will display, but its topology broken...

any ideas?
