[GRASSLIST:7305] Multiple PERMANENT mapsets displaying in g.mapsets

When I run g.mapsets.tcl, the window opens up showing me the list of mapsets
I have access to....only there seems to be two PERMANENT mapsets listed,
which are both selected. How can this be? I've checked that there is only
one PERMANENT directory (there is). I can display maps from PERMANENT no
problem, just seems kind of weird. Anyone else notice this before? I'm
running 6.1 cvs-4 through Cygwin.

I saw the same on a Linux box of a friend. That was a CVS 6.1 Grass about two monts old now. However in the same time, with the same Grass version I didn't have that odd effect.

I wonder if the reason could had been related that my friend was working in Grass 6.1 CVS using datasets created long time ago in Grass5. Although the double PERMANENT seemed odd it doesn't seem to have done any harm.

You will see this if you run g.mapsets from within the PERMANENT mapset.
Generally, you should be using another mapset for your day to day work.
