v.in.arc bug with > 1000 polygons?

Maybe it's the way I'm using the arc DISPLAY command, but if I ungenerate
the line and point data, then use the info DISPLAY command to print
the polygon attributes into a *.txt file, it puts commas in the file
for polygons 1000+ (e.g., 1,004 not 1004). v.in.arc provides an error
message: ERROR: Premature Text-Label EOF. ID #1000 not found. If I edit
out the commas, it reads fine.

This is just a minor irritation, not a big problem, but it might be
easy to modify v.in.arc to read the commas so the edit step isn't
needed, or is there a way to make DISPLAY omit the commas? Anyone
else have thoughts or should I submit a bug report?

Send responses directly to me-I'll summarize for the list.

Before you use the DISPLAY command in INFO, issue the following statement to get rid
of the commas

CALC $COMMA-SWITCH = -1

The commas will not appear.
