[GRASSLIST:10696] v.in.ascii failing on large files?

[Jonathan Greenberg]

Does v.in.ascii have problems with VERY large files (grass 6.1 for cygwin)?
When I do a v.info on the imported vector, I get a big red X with "Cannon
open old vector tahoe_4_pansharp_stems at tahoe on level 2".  The .csv file
(x,y and a number column which should be the sole attribute of the vector)
is about 280mb in size (~ 600,000 points).  

On a related note, v.in.ogr fails importing a shapefile that is about 170mb
in size (dbf file is a hair under 2gb).  I get an out-of-memory error (my
memory usage goes up to 1.5 gb).
