I hopefully improved the error message again:

GRASS 7.0.0svn (nc_spm_08_grass7):~ > d.rast elevation
ERROR: Cairo_begin_raster(): Failed to create surface (invalid value
       (typically too big) for the size of the input (surface, pattern,
       etc.)). Using rows: 155000, cols: 407500

Indeed it is an initialization bug in the wxGUI (to be fixed in d.mon
since it works in the map display)
