ps.map

Hi all,

Before I start let me say that I am
running a copy of grass4.2.1 version 18 on a FreeBSD machine. I also
compiled the code on this machine.

ps.map: I am finding that the ps.map is giving a segmentation fault
when I attempt to use vector files. Raster files and sites work fine.
If I ask the program to paint raster files and vector files, there is
no segmentation fault, but the vector information does not appear. Is
this the "same old ps.map problem" ? If so, what is the appropriate
fix?

Ouch. No that is *not* the same old ps.map problem. Off of the top of
my head, I would guess something is wrong in the process of converting
the vector to postscript. If you have a core file lying around
somewhere I might be able to tell you. I have to move to the latest
GRASS
anyways, I'm still somewhere in the early teens (heh!)

This seems to be a recent bug. I remember printing vectors just fine
when
I fixed that FIRST ps.map bug.
