As mentioned in the last mail below, you cannot copy it without 
modifications, as v.db.connect's fs= parameter was introduced in 6.4, 
and I'm not sure that's the only change.

I think the easiest would probably be to copy the lines setting the 
relevant environment variables from 6.4 to 6.3 to replace the d.mon call.
