It fails in GRASS 6?? That ain't right. what happens when you do 

g.region rast=some_map

or

g.region rast=some_map at other_mapset

?

In that case 'g.region -d' will fail as DEFAULT_WIND is broken too?

can you post the file here?

yes.

this starts out by copying the DEFAULT_WIND file to the mapset's WIND
file.. if your DEFAULT_WIND is bad, the new mapset will be bad as well.
(but do try)



I was switching between 6.0 and 5.4 yesterday.. the need for a forward
compatible 5.4.1 is fairly clear if people are going to continue to use
the 5.4 line.
