[GRASS-user] Buffered categories

Thanks!

The handling of overlapping areas is the reason I keep recompiling the 
older version of v.buffer as v.oldbuffer. This lets me use the old debug 
flag to prevent it from cleaning the areas, which I can then turn into 
discrete areas instead of having them combined by the newer version. 
Which reminds me, since the latest upgrade ...
