[GRASSLIST:3421] bad results from vector to rast conversion

Dear GrassList,

I have a question regarding converting Vector Maps
into Raster and the resulting Raster output.

Background:
I had e00 files that I imported to vectors and they
are beautiful. The categories are there and
everything looks good.

Current:
Now, I must export them into raster. So I used the
v.to.rast command with resolutions: 5, 30, 50. The
results are disappointing; the resulting raster
"streams" map is a series of a few points which are
barely detectable. I have tried to interpolate the
points with v.surf.rast but the results do not give a
result that is much clearer, or I get a segmentation
fault, or I get a message about it taking too long
with a 0% hanging the system..

Any suggestions?
Thank you,
Stef

Try zooming in. They might be ok after all, just too small
geographically to be displayed on the screen at the current window size.
