Problem occurs when calling this (line 194, dbmgr/manager.py in grass64) ret = RunCommand('v.db.select', quiet = True, parent = self, flags = 'c', map = self.mapDBInfo.map, layer = layer, columns = ','.join(columns), fs = fs, where = where, stdout = outFile) I recently added the fs parameter to be able to open data which contain | character by changing the separator in preferences. On Windows it is causing splitting the whole command into 2 parts - before and after pipe. As a result 'columns' parameter (after pipe) is treated like another command. As a temporal workaround you can set the separator to something different in preferences (more characters are accepted) - this should work immediately. I can also revert the change. On Linux the characters in parameters are escaped properly probably in Popen but not on Windows. Anyone knows how to solve this properly?
