I meant to forward this email to dev list yesterday but I screwed it.
Trying once again. Please read below.

Hi,
I upgraded grass from cvs last night and am getting the following error:

That's because 'ps.map -p', which d.m calls from
$GISBASE/etc/dm/print.tcl, doesn't work anymore. CCing grass-dev.
This is because of a change made to fix this issue:
http://www.intevation.de/rt/webrt?serial_num=3418&display=History
http://grass.itc.it/pipermail/grass-commit/2007-February/026632.htmlI have only skimmed over this briefly but IMHO the original bug report
is wrong and it should be a "won't fix" - it would seem that specifying
an output file is indeed optional if all that the user wants to do is
list the available paper sizes.
