I can reproduce the problem:

me too, in 6.4.0svn and 6.5svn, but not in 6.3.0

No good.

In GRASS 6.3.0 I get:

[with --verbose to show column scan results (my feeling is to move
that back to the standard messages because it is so helpful in self-
debugging)]

but in GRASS 6.4.0rc4, 6.5 I get:

I don't know which should be "right" or "wrong", but the change possibly
happened here:
