[GRASS-user] large shapefile not importing properly with v.import

yes

sites of the same type shouldn't overlap, these are artefacts of different
data sources over Europe compiled in a not "cleaned" data set 

I'm aware that not all of these issues could/should be "automagically"
solved during import, some precision errors/self intersection/....
correction would be nice :-)
