My recollection is that it was a map generated by v.in.dxf.
That was also true in my case, so I ran some tests, importing vector
files with v.in.dxf then exporting them with v.out.ascii. They
consistently have a blank line after the first line of the header.
The problem appears to be that when v.in.dxf assigns the organization
name as "GRASS Development Team" on line 44 of make_header.c that it
includes a newline in the string. The newline is stored in the binary
vector file header and when v.out.ascii prints the header it adds
another newline. So we have a blank line.
I removed the newline in the string and it works fine, but I haven't set
up CVS write access yet, so the problem still needs to be fixed.

thanks for investigating!

You are still welcome 
If you send a diff to me, I can upload for now.
