Similar problem with shapefiles generated using ArcGIS, I recently posted a
topic about (some) areas which are not available after v.in.ogr.

Does anyone have suggestions as to what could be going on?


Hamish suggested using 'v.in.ogr -c ' (does not clean polygons) which didn't
worked for me.
I partially solved using v.in.ogr without min_area and snap parameters but
when patching adjacent shapes I do not some polygons lost area.
Are you experiencing something similar with ArcGIS shapes?
