I recently fixed a series of vector commands for white space
problems (which I could reproduce on Linux) but I don't
manage to reproduce the r.report problem.

GRASS 6.4.svn (nc_spm_07):~/grass data > r.report -h towns units=h

Note "grass data" above. It must be really XP/Vista specific.
Please check if there is a similar report already in trac, otherwise
I suggest to open a new report:
