Hi, for the record, I just came across the same problem in 6.5svn on linux.
svn up + rebuilding grass made it go away.

actually I think dbf has such low overhead that it is quite efficient

an era in the 80s where it /had/ to be efficient.
I imagine it dies a horrible death with >2gb files though.
