[GRASS-windows] Problems with Mapcanvas

[Doug_Newcomb at fws.gov]

Glynn,
      The regions that I entered were created using the startup tool with
the EPSG code and Georefernced file options.  Based on your feedback below,
I created a new mapset using qgis 0.9.  I was then able to open the new
mapset  in GRASS without the error message.

       Could there be a problem with the way that the startup menu creates
new regions/mapsets from EPSG codes and Georeferenced files?

The code (mapcanvas.tcl:593) is:

                         # Finally put this into wind file format to use
with GRASS_REGION
                         regexp -nocase {^.* (\(.*\))} $parts(projection)
trash end
                         set parts(projection) [string trim
$parts(projection) $end]

It should be checking the return value from regexp before trying to
use the match variables.
