[GRASS-user] Re: Bug or my fault?

Thanks for your help Michael. Here is the status.
Issued v.db.connect and all prints as expected by you and all vectors have a
corresponding .dbf file.
This is what I do.
I have a mapset with 270 vectors. I open GRASS64 with wxpython GUI and
select one vector in the middle, call it vect135. I right click to list the
attributes. The system hangs with error "Python.exe not responding"
I restart GRASS64 with TclTk GUI and load the same vector, press the
attributes button and all attributes show up perfectly.
I then delete the top 100 .dbf files from the dbf directory only (not from
the vector directory). I restart GRASS64 with the python GUI again, load the
same vector (vect135), right click and the attribute table shows up
perfectly.
I then restore the 100 .dbf files I had previously deleted and now delete
the bottom 100. Restart GRASS64 with python GUI, load vect135, right click
and the attribute table shows up perfectly. 
As soon as the number of dbf files increases to approx 188 (the actual
number seems to depend on which vectors are involved) the system hangs when
opening the attribute table, but only with the python GUI.
I have now restructured my location so I have a number of mapsets and have
distributed the vectors among the new mapsets, so they all have less than
100 files each, and all works perfectly. But I am really puzzled and would
dearly like to know why this happens only to me!
By the way, the problem occurs running GRASS with or without MSys.
