Markus,

   Do I interpret the above that you extracted RC5 from the stable release?

   Here's the URL: <http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/wiki/DownloadSource#GRASS6.4>
and this is what I see:

GRASS 6.4

To extract the current 6.4.0 release candidate 5 (RC5) use the command:

   svn checkout https://svn.osgeo.org/grass/grass/tags/release_20090609_grass_6_4_0RC5 grass640_rc5

To extract the current 6.4.x release branch version (stable) use the command:

   svn checkout https://svn.osgeo.org/grass/grass/branches/releasebranch_6_4 grass64_release

   Are you developing both the stable and release candidate versions
simultaneously? Do both have identical code? If I want the patch you added
late last week which branch do I use?

Thanks,

Rich
