Hamish,

1) Version: both 6.2 and 6.3-cvs (using the version currently offered at 
William K's site) show the same symptoms.
2) Yes, I am displaying it in gis.m.
3) No, in d.labels the file does not display at all.
4) Yes - the labels cover Sydney city. The region is about 1.5 degrees 
in both X and Y.

Let's assume that I'm losing the decimal points: is there a fix?
