Hello,

I'm working with Lorenzo's binaries, version 6.1.cvs, released 8 October, 2005.

I am trying to import a series of sites using v.in.ascii. I believe I have the points formatted correctly (x|y, decimal degrees):

-86.0987|43.09055
-86.102|43.09278
-86.143|43.10967
-86.14295|43.10955
(partial list)

When I run the program, I receive the following message:

v.in.ascii 'input=/Users/davidkindem/Documents/GRGH&M/GPS Waypoints/JunctionPoints.txt' output=JunctionPoints format=point fs=| skip=0 x=1 y=2 z=0 cat=0
v.in.ascii(363) malloc: *** Deallocation of a pointer not malloced: 0x15016f0; This could be a double free(), or free() called with the middle of an allocated block; Try setting environment variable MallocHelp to see tools to help debug

The layer is created, but will not display.

I've imported sites before (though not recently), using the same steps. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks,

Dave

Did you make sure that you have Unix line feeds at the end of each line? I
use TextWrangler to do this. nedit (for x11) also works for this.

Note v.in.ascii uses G_getl2() now in the GRASS 6.1 development version.
This means dos, unix, and mac os9 newline formats are all understood
correctly. (Please report any problems.)

A malloc error is weird to see.

It is a little weird, and persistent, too.

I continue to get the malloc error with any text file i create. It's been a while since I used v.in.ascii, so I tried recreating a sites layer with a text file that worked a few months ago, and get the malloc error there, too.
