Fixed (hopefully) in r61840. This change also reduces the number of warnings; a warning is only generated when searching for the primary element. Given that it's a fairly fundamental change, it should be tested. OTOH, given that it fixes a fairly fundamental bug, it should go into at least one beta prior to any final release. -- Glynn Clements <gl...@gclements.plus.com> _______________________________________________ grass-dev mailing list grass-dev@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-dev
