[GRASS-user] Bug in GRASS 6.4 svn and 7.0 svn; both from 13.december this year

Hi!
Are others experiencing this behaviour:

When trying to add a new vector datasett to the map display window in either
6.4 or 7 I get no file dialog with lists of available datasets. (Using the
button in the tools row in the the layer manager.) If I try to add a raster
datasett the list is displayed! And data can be added as normal.

The behavior is normal in 6.3 (SUSE 10.3 most recent rpm's).

I presume its a bug in Python: (errors from command output follows)

g.mlist -m vect

says?

Agreed, bad. I think I've tried to overwrite an existing dataset; and @larsf
is then tagged on. I think I've created such elements before (ie with two @),
but what happened then was that I had problems getting rid of them; and that
was the worst.

Maybe something could be done to prevent such names being applied to datasets?
A test, (if...then) which tests for such cases?

invalid elements are ignored
