number...")

     Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: normal | Milestone: 7.0.0
Component: Database | Version: svn-releasebranch70
Keywords: | Platform: Linux
      Cpu: x86-64 |
-----------------------+----------------------------------------------------
Requirements:
- GRASS GIS 7.0.0svn (r63888)

Process:

1. Download this TIGER census file (pardon French):
    :
http://www2.census.gov/geo/tiger/TIGER2010DP1/Tract_2010Census_DP1.zip
    : Longueur: 409901240 (391M) [application/zip]
    : Sauvegarde en : «Tract_2010Census_DP1.zip»
2. Import it
    : db.connect driver=pg database=portal-total
    : v.in.ogr
dsn=/home/powellj/gisdata/Tract_2010Census_DP1/Tract_2010Census_DP1.shp
output=tract2010censusdp1

3. Add it to the Map layers in the GUI.

4. Then click on "Show attribute data for selected vector map" in the GUI.

What I expect to see:

The attribute table for the census map.

What happens instead:

1. Please wait, loading attribute data... (for 45 seconds or so)
2. Then a window titled "GRASS GIS Attribute Manager - <tract20..." opens,
    with the text "Loading data..." in the bottom left of it. On top of
this,
    centered, is a modal dialog box with a red circle in it, with a white
bar through
    that circle, and a button reading OK and /nothing else/. No text at
all.
3. When I click OK on that to dismiss it, after another 10 seconds,
another modal
    dialog box appears. This one has text, which reads "Inconsistent
number of
    columns in the table <Tract2010cebsysdp1>".

I researched this, but only found http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/ticket/1633
which is a 20-month old bug involving the pipe character in field names.
My
field names are extremely plain, no pipes.
