[GRASS-user] Re: V.buffer stalling

Further to my first message:

Hi,

Trying to buffer a number of polygons - but only one polygon at a time.

There doesn't seem by eye to be any difference in the complexity of the polygons, but some of them cause v.buffer to stall at "Buffering Areas - 100%" and not complete. It didn't complete left overnight. Other, similar polygons complete in about 20 seconds.

It's not reporting any errors...

Running:
Grass-GIS 6.4.0RC5 on OSX 10.4.1

I've just run the operation in about three hours on an Acer laptop under Puppy Linux, using an old version of v.buffer (from Grass-GIS 6.2, which I had compiled so as to retain the debug=buffer option).

So there's something about v.buffer in Grass-GIS 6.4 that's making it stall on maps that an older version can process.

But it's not reporting any errors - so what's the best approach to identifying what's wrong, so I can file a bug?

Richard

Hello,
at first - try rc7
second - g.gisenv set=DEBUG=5
third (best one) - provide sample data with steps to reproduce Your issue.

WBR,
Maris.
