[GRASS-dev] Re: [GRASS-user] v.buffer creates artefact - bug?

v.buffer was fixed a lot in last months, mainly by Hamish. Many thanks
to him! And it works mostly OK these days. I'm saying almost - because
there is still a strange error that I can reproduce always and Hamish
cannot, although we are using exactly same data. We asked GRASS Folks
to try to reproduce that too, but there was no feedback. So let me ask
you All again:

1. Grab the location:
http://kufaya.googlepages.com/vbuffer_issue.tar.bz2

There is only one vector 'ditch_1205' in mapset 'ditch'. Please buffer
it with:
v.buffer in=ditch_1205 out=ditch_1205_buf4 type=area buffer=4

2. Please drop a line in this thread whether your output looks like
this (OK, Hamish's case):
http://kufaya.googlepages.com/ditch_1205_edt_b4.png

or this (bad, my case):
http://kufaya.googlepages.com/ditch_1205_b4.png

I get the same (bad) results as you.

With any thoughts on what is going on here.

Not really, only that there are some other strange elements than the centre part:

http://moritz.homelinux.org/grass/ditch_buff_bottom.jpg

show that the buffer (in red) cuts through the original area at the top and the bottom. AFAIU buffering this is not the expected behaviour.
