[GRASS5] [bug #4269] (grass) problems with r.contour

I get the usual list of errors and then the vecotr map is created.

I don't understand. What are those errors? Copy/paste please.

then
g.remove vect=dem_isoipse_050
g.region res=1
r.contour input=elevation.dem@PERMANENT output=dem_isoipse_050 step=50 cut=0
I get a program abnormal end (killed) at:

Reading data.
Percent complete: Killed

Is it using all your memory and swap before then? I couldn't reproduce your
particular case with "Percent complete: Killed", but my machine freezes when I
run r.contour on a "too big" DEM.

Could you find settings to reproduce the error in the Spearfish dataset?

Devs,

Is r.contour reading the whole DEM into memory? It looks so.

using the r.contour GUI, I noticed that selecting the "suppress single
crossing error messages" (this and only this) kills both the gui and the
d.m (as well as gis.m).

For this Cedric and Michael could maybe tell? As well as for some your other
recent posts regarding GUI issues.

Thanks.

Maciek
