   There's actually a serious bug in the GUI editing: selecting to not save
changes saves them anyway. If an incorrect boundary line is selected I often
find that I cannot de-select it by left-clicking somewhere else. Wanting to
bail out, I select Quit -> Do not save changes. However, the line segment is
removed anyway.

   I'm now about to re-run r.to.vect for a third time and will once again try
to get rid of the spurious areas in the vector map. Not sure if I can make
time this weekend to look at the code to see what's broken. I have no idea
what function is handing the digitizing exit choices.
