[GRASS5] v.in.shape on linuxPPC

Hi everyone.

This is a request for anyone running a linux PPC installation. I've
received reports that v.in.shape (current CVS version) causes core dump
when run on this architecture when the same call on i386 machines runs
OK. I would be grateful if anyone who has GRASS running on a PPC machine
(and who has time) could check the module.

Thanks, in anticipation.

David

If you point me to an example file
and tell me exactly how to test it, I can give it a shot.

For everybody:
On of the source code files of v.in.shape triggered
a bug in the gcc compiler for ppc when optimisation is turned on.

When building v.in.shape without the "-O2" flag it ran fine here.

ps.: carbon copy send to Brian, who reported the bug.
