But your terminal prompt says GRASS 6.4.0RC5 instead of GRASS 6.4.0svn. 
Can you try with latest svn again?

What command did you use, how far did v.in.ogr proceed, e.g. was there a 
message like "Layer: <layer name>"? If there is any output and v.in.ogr 
does not exit immediately with that buffer overflow, can you post the 
full output? You can also set debug level to 3 and post the messages, 
maybe there is some helpful hint in there.

Lastly, the following information would be helpful: what system, is 
grass self-compiled or binary, what gdal version do you use?

If all fails, try 6.5 or 7, v.in.ogr has been considerably improved by 
Ben Ducke in these versions of grass.
