Carlos,

   The clip box is not quite rectangular. In any case, I think it is the huge
size of the line map on a system with "only" 4G of memory that might be the
problem.

   Looking at v.select suggests that it might work, but I've no way of
knowing if it is any more efficient than v.overlay, and I don't want to
re-boot my server/workstation again. :-)

Thanks,

Rich
