[GRASS-user] bug in v.db.renamecol

[Dr. Manuel Seeger]

Hello all,
I found a small bug in v.db.renamecol

working on dbf- database driver, renaming a column, if (like I made) you 
try to use a column name greater than 10 characters length, then it 
gives an error warning, and creates a column with the new name (cut at 
the end to fit 10 char), but does not fill in the column values, and(!) 
deletes the old column.
This is: column data is lost!

Cheers
Manuel
