[GRASSLIST:6137] v.mkgrid problems again...

[Dylan Beaudette]

Hi everyone,

last month I was having some trouble with v.mkgrid producing 
boundaries, centroids, but no areas... after upgrading to GRASS6-beta1 
the problem was solved. Now with the latest GRASS 6.0.0 source v.mkgrid 
is not producing areas. As a comparison, the GRASS6 package for MacOS X 
produces the correct output.

Here is a comparison of the output:

MacOS X Package version of GRASS6:

Any ideas on why this is happening?

Thanks in advance!
