Here's the output from ogrinfo on my shapefile:
ogrinfo 45256600_h_r.shp
INFO: Open of `45256600_h_r.shp'
using driver `ESRI Shapefile' successful.
1: 45256600_h_r (Polygon)
Hm, no projection info, coordinate system, nothing. But the prj is in the
same directory as the shapefile.
Maybe the problem lies in the shapefile and associated files (?)

Stereographic shapefile - used EPSG #2036
this bug's URL: http://intevation.de/rt/webrt?serial_num=4190
---------------------------------------------------------------------Subject: Could not import a NB Double Stereographic shapefile - used
EPSG #2036Platform: GNU/Linux/x86
grass obtained from: Trento Italy site
grass binary for platform: Downloaded precompiled Binaries
GRASS Version: Grass 6.1cvs 18-03-2006I downloaded this shapefile:
https://www.web11.snb.ca/topo/aadb/shape/nbaa_5000_ranb.zip
The shapefile is in New Brunswick Double Stereographic, NAD83 CSRS98
(Canadian Spatial Reference System 1998)This shapefile comes from a municipal government site, so is highly
likely that the shapefile is in the projection is says it is. Or at
least it's not suspect at this point.Reading the .prj file shows that the projection is indeed New
Brunswick Double Stereographic. I created a new Location using EPSG
code #2036, which seemed to match the shapefile's projection
parameter-for-parameter. Imported shapefile into Location using:v.in.ogr dsn=shapefile_directory output=nbaa_5000_ranb
layer=nbaa_5000_ranband received a seg fault, with no other error information. Importing
the shapefile using the 'location' parameter in v.in.ogr also gives a
seg fault, with no feedback.
what happens if you try looking at it with 'ogrinfo' ?
also, maybe quicker for you, the above can just be:
v.in.ogr dsn=directory/file.shp out=map # and no layer=
