[GRASSLIST:5649] vector export to GMT->simplify vectors

[Dylan Beaudette]

Greetings!

I have a simple vector that is composed of 2 areas:
http://169.237.35.250/~dylan/gmt/ptuff.png

v.info reports:
|   Number of points:       0               Number of areas:      2           
|   Number of lines:        0               Number of islands:    2           
|   Number of boundaries:   18              Number of faces:      0          
|   Number of centroids:    2               Number of kernels:    0

I am interested in exporting the boundaries that represent the 2 areas in this 
vector with v.out.asci, for useage in GMT...

However, when i run v.out.ascii format=standard ....

I am left with an ascii file that describes all 18 boundaries that exist in 
the vector ptuff.... resulting in a file that is of little use in GMT... see 
the result (blue polygon is the problem one...):

Where do all 18 boundaries come from? How can I only export the ones 
associated with the 2 areas? 

Any ideas?

PS I am using GRASS6

Thanks,
