[GRASS5] v.patch in 5.7 problems

grass57_exp_2004_11_13

After merging a vector consisted of points with a vector consisted of lines using v.patch I get a file where some lines and points are assigned the same "field:" and "category:". It unables me create a database which would assign the elevation values to both points and contour lines at one time! And I need it to be done so in order to interpolate this "merged" elevation information in one turn with v.surf.rst. Both input files had a nice database.

BTW - why doesn't the v.patch create a merged database for the output file while in 5.5 the v.patch copies all the input's cats and labels to the output?

Please somebody answer and let me know if it's a bug worthy of a bug report.
