In GRASS the areas should be linked to 1 row.
In QGIS the to areas are represented as 2 features which
is not correct but I have not decide yet when features linked to
single row should be represented as 'multi'. In GRASS
can be thousands of geometry elements linked to one row,
but converted to single 'multi' feature would become huge
and probably crashed.

Any ideas when to represent them as multi and when as single?
