Comment(by lutra):

 Hi all,

 I finally made further tests, using qgis/osgeo4w (both 1.6 and trunk) and
 trunk/standalone created with creatensis.pl

 Used a *clean* Windows Seven environment

 Results

 A) qgis 1.6 osgeo4w and 1.7 standalone:

 adding a GRASS vector to the qgis canvas (via the GRASS browser or using
 the "view output" button, for example after having imported a vector)
 *usually* works, but at some point it will happen that adding a new vector
 qgis will hang and you will need to take it down.

 After many hours of testing I realized that it is absolutely random: it
 doesn't depend on the vector, or the kind of geometry or the
 complexity/size or its projection. It is simply random. It can happen when
 adding the first vector in a project or after 20 tries. Sooner or later
 qgis will choke.


 B) qgis trunk/osgeo4w:

 qgis immediately crashes (not hangs as before) when adding a GRASS vector
 in a qgis project.


 Forget about the vector I attched to this ticket, if you want to replicate
 the issue just use the QGIS sample dataset,
