Right, I didn't try that path. And yes, the patch tries to prevent the GUI
from calling g.mapset with an illegal filename. But should the GUI do such
checks if the module already provides them ? Shouldn't the GUI just pass
on the string correctly and let the module handle the error ? Especially
if we might decide one day that mapsets should be able to have special
characters in their names ?
