that patch was non-functional, it still needs some work. It won't do any
harm though, as it won't do anything at all.

I used 

#ifdef UNUSED
...
#endif

for commenting out a chunk of code which contains other /* comments */.

(as Radim noted, you don't actually need the v.type steps after all)


is the v.clean problem a result of you needing GUI options like:
(choose only one)

o line,boundary
o boundary,line
o point,centroid
o centroid,point

and not as now:
(choose multiple)

o line
o boundary
o centroid
o point

and then somehow know that you are only allowed to select two compatible
ones from the list and somehow specify order (impossible)?

no idea. Could it be warning / error messages triggering the crash?
G_percent?

maybe debug with:
 v.clean --tcltk | less
?
