Implemented your patch to changeset 4359 releasebranch_6_4, compiled 
following instructions at 
<http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/wiki/CompileOnWindows>, and it works for 
the following simple test (see 
<http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/ticket/1159#comment:13>):

The point can be displayed, and the dbf table seems ok. Also works using 
a longer sample text file I previously linked
https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B0EpsfMZ-IZYNGZlNWZkMWEtNzhiNS00OGRiLTgyNzctYzk4ODUxODk1NzI1&sort=name&layout=list&num=50

I am not sure as to whether this should be reported on 
<http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/ticket/1159>.

Related ticket 1158 <http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/ticket/1158> seems to 
persist:

    GRASS 6.4> v.in.ascii --overwrite
    input=C:/cygwin/home/andy/models_temp/Bloomd
    ay_Olive_11set10_Avg output=test_US_import fs=tab
    ATTENZIONE: Vector map <test_US_import> already exists and will be
                overwritten
    ATTENZIONE: Unable to delete file
               
    'C:\cygwin\home\andy/latlong/luigi/vector/test_US_import/hist'
    ERRORE: Unable to delete vector map <test_US_import>


Still not entirely clear to me which variable I am supposed to set in 
order to get full English messages.

Thanks and regards,

Luigi
