where did you get this from? Self-compiled?

I have tested the digitizer these days from 6.4.svn and it worked ok.
Martin has done some optimizations in the past 48 hours :)

If you compile yourself, consider to switch to the 6.4.x release branch
version (stable), which continuously receives bugfixes, using
the command:

svn checkout https://svn.osgeo.org/grass/grass/branches/releasebranch_6_4
grass64_release

If you could work with that, we know if there are still unfixed bugs left.
