It still doesn't work ...

Here is an example, which I read from the standard input by
"cat segment_lines| v.segment input=mypath_length output=test_segment_lines"


file "segment_lines":
L 1 1 1000.0 2820.0
L 2 1 3000.0 3480.0 200
L 3 1 3600.0 4000.0

I'm using the current version of GRASS 6.1 from the CVS

By the way: Is there a possibility to calibrate the input lines?
I used v.net.path to create the line on a road network for example by 
using coordinates from bus stops. The measured lengths differs (a little 
bit) from the distance given by other sources (e.g. the transport 
operator).
So can I give GRASS the exact distance and v.segment will find the 
points by using this distance?
