[GRASSLIST:6464] view raster image - d.mon causes crash

hey,
i am new to grass and intend to use it in order to reference raster data.
unfortunately, i already have problems to view my scans:

the program crashes ( or seems to crash) when i open a monitor.
this appears both with the bash shell command and the gui “gis manager”.

after executing d.mon x0 i am not able to execute other commands [see attachment]
in most cases the started monitor window causes clipping errors and i don't see anything.

i use cygwin/grass 6.1.cvs [downloaded at the official grass download]
on windows xp, athlon 1000, 512 mb ram

i tried to use the grass60.bat instead of grass61 but grass does somehow not start using the 60.bat

i hope someone has a clue what that is all about
regards

axel
