Likely yes. Could you please try the 6.4.1RC2 package? This bug was fixed
http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/ticket/994

Perhaps also the former version of v.buffer (the current version is a rewrite)
will be reactivated since it got fixed and performs better:
http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/ticket/699

In any case a test with 6.4.1RC2 is recommended.
