Hello,
I'm using William Kyngesburye's OSX binaries of Grass 6.4 rc3, and find it doesn't work with my existing mapsets. On displaying a vector map, it gives an error "Error setting region: child process exited abnormally." If I set or display the region with g.region or g.region -p, I get the error "region for current mapset <projection field missing> xx run "g.region" The mapset is UTM zone 35, and works fine in 6.3. I installed the newest GDAL framework (1.6.0-5). I had thought the projection information was in one or more of the files in the mapset PROJ_INFO, etc., which are (for one typical mapset):
DEFAULT_WIND:

I'm not sure why the default window sets it to one row and one column, but it works OK in 6.3. Any idea what's wrong here?
Many thanks,
Nick Cahill
