I tried a quick test importing some shapefiles with both 1.6 
and 1.7 (WinXP OSGeo4W installer). No obvious, consistent 
problems. I had one program lockup when clicking "View Output" 
in the v.in.ogr toolbox window. I think this was due to a 
dirty polygon shp that GRASS couldn't successfully clean. But 
after restarting QGIS the GRASS vector displayed properly. In 
general I could import into a GRASS mapset 100MB shapefiles 
without issues.

The .gislock file that gets left after a crash, preventing use 
of the mapset after a restart is indeed an annoyance.

Would you mind to post some shapes that were causing trouble. 
Or is it a more widespread problem??
