We are trying to project a vector file from california state plane, zone iii,
to UTM. The source location is defined as zone 403, which is a lambert
conformal conic projection (as defined in etc/projections). v.proj returns
an error

major axis, radius = 0, or not spec'ed
cannot initializa pj

  ...

Thanks,

Unfortunately, I do not know what value added material has been applied
to *proj* in the GRASS release, but my last release works just fine with:

  proj +init=nad27:403

Admittedly, its not v.proj or whatever, but I do pass it through a
torture test of nearly all the SPCS zones before release. Scripts
for that test are passed on with the distribution.
