[GRASS-user] Grass 6.3 on OS X

[Michael Barton]

I think this is another example of an issue importing certain shapefiles via
OGR. There has been a thread discussing this on this list over the past few
days. I didn't follow it closely, but you need to set one of the flags
(don't create topology??).
