[GRASSLIST:2639] couldn´t execute "v.trim": no such file or directory

I wanted to use v.trim but the command wasn´t found. But the manual exists, so why can´t I use this modul?
I am using GRASS 5.0.2 Binaries from April 2003

Any idea? What can I use instead?

Manual pages are stored separately from the source code in the GRASS
source code repository and they are always installed even if the module is
not compiled...

It would seem to be disabled because it has too many bugs:

You would need to get the GRASS source code and compile it yourself if you
wanted it.

Maybe use v.support with the option to remove dangles (set an appropriate
threshold)? I'm not sure if that is roughly the same thing or not.

Just a remark:

From GRASS 5.7 onwards the manual pages are stored along with

the source code. In GRASS 5.7 version only the 'active' modules are
visible.
