Kang,

The Grass4.1.5 source code has a bug in a program called v.build which is
used by v.support.  If you have Grass4.1.4 code, you can use the v.build
program from that in place of the v.build in your 4.1.5 code.  If you
don't have 4.1.4 code, you can grab a fixed version of v.build off of our
ftp server, moon (129.229.20.254).  Look for a file called v.build.sun
under the /grass/incoming directory.
