[GRASSLIST:8406] Re: Grass6 - Errors with v.in.ogr

[Brent Wood]

This might be a workaround, depending on what your problem is, but you
could use ogr2ogr to convert all your Mapinfo mapfiles to ESRI shapefiles
then import the shape files?

Doesn't resolve the actual problem, but may let you keep going until it is
fixed.
