[GRASSLIST:8932] freeze while digit

Hello!
I use Grass 6.1 with Cygwin (Windows xp) and while i'm in module v.digit, open monitor is often be freeze. And after I exit end enter again I lost everything I have been digitalize because I can't open cretaed map for continue digit with this message:

Cannot open old vector mk11GraniceKopna@PERMANENT on level 2

Does anyone know how to resolve this problem?

You need to run

v.build map=mk11GraniceKopna

in your PERMANENT mapset. On the general issue of v.digit freezing on
Cygwin: Sorry, I can't help. I'm having this problem myself.

Hope this helps,

I haven't used Cygwin for a while so my info may be dated.

There are some routines in grass (d.zoom, d.where, etc) that pole the
mouse and wait for user input to the monitor. I found that many of
them overwhelmed Cygwin GRASS and froze the program. Sometimes if you
complete the action (right-click usually) and wait, GRASS returns from
the dead after a bit.

This occurs to a lesser extent on the Linux version of GRASS. But even
on linux, if you leave GRASS waiting for mouse input (say during a
zoom operation) it will consume 100% cpu until you complete the mouse
op.

I think that this has been discussed in the past, but most developers
are on Linux and may not be aware of how bad this behaves in Cygwin.
Some kind of multi-threading issue (or lack of multi-threading I
think).

Hello,

I am currently using grass61 under cygwin on a Dell Inspiron 9200 Centrino with 2G of memory and this is a very serious problem!

Trying to use i.points is painful and not worth the problems. Waiting for the redraw or the zoom/box to draw on the screen can take over 30-50 seconds.

So there is confirmation. Hope this can be easily fixed.
