[GRASSLIST:5690] 6.0beta2: Input sites?

[Jose Luis Gomez Dans]

Hi!
I'm trying to use 6.0beta2, but I'm finding some
problems. v.in.ascii. I 
have a sites list, which used to load fine with the
old s.in.ascii. In 
essence, it looks like this:
  1548976.625000|   999991.813000| 2679.88|  2.8
  1548814.625000|   999938.063000| 2680.33|  4.5
  1548653.625000|   999885.563000| 2681.00|  8.2
(%16.6f|%16.6f|%8.2f|%5.1f\n).
The file has around 375000 records, and it essentially
is 
x,y,z,smoothing (smoothing as seen in v.surf.rst). I
have loaded the 
file into 6.0beta2 using
v.in.ascii -z input=file.xyz cat=0
output=ouput_v
z=3 columns='x double precision, 
y double precision, z double precision, tol double
precision'  

This works, but it takes an awful long time (5-10
minutes), and it uses 
most of my memory. While v.info shows the right sort
of minimum and 
maximum values for x,y and z, it is impossible to get
hold of the 4th 
column of my input data. v.info -c map comes up with
the following 
message:
Database connection for map <XXXX> is not defined in
DB file

If I use 5.3, I can import the sites file easily and
quickly using 
s.in.ascii. s.in.ascii is also present in 5.7, but I
don't get the 4th 
column, and I found some strange artifacts when using
s.surf.rst in 
5.3, and wanted to see if these had been solved in
6.0.

So, how does one load up such file then? I read the
man page, but to no 
avail!

Many thanks!
José
