[GRASS-user] bug in v.out.ogr ?

[Paul Surgeon]

Hello people

When I export a polygon, vector map as lines or boundaries to a shapefile 
using v.out.ogr I have no problems.

However when I use "area" all I get are NULLs in the attribute fields and 
GRASS spits out : 
"GRASS_INFO_WARNING(18151,1): 7 features without category written"

I tried MapInfo, GML, Shapefile they all do the same thing.

Is there anyway to get my digitized data out of GRASS 6.0.1 in the form of 
polygons with the attributes?

Thanks
Paul
