This method is not beatiful but it forces to import (v.in.ogr -c) 
some shape (very few) with problem under Mac OSX: v.in.ogr goes to 
infinite loop.
This problem is very very random: small or big shapes are imported 
very well but some shape files have problem under OSX. It's difficult 
to make a complete debug because v.in.ogr goes to loop and it write 
always. I had only 1 file with this problem and no problem with other.

Bye
