[GRASS-user] v.buffer - prevent buffer merge

GRASS GRASS user

I'm using v.buffer to create 25km buffer zones around a set of points.
However v.buffer merges overlapping circles. Is there an option and/or
technique to create the circles without them being merged?

I'm using winGRASS 6.4.SVN-r45245-1 on Windows XP.

Thanks in advance for any help.
