v.support and DLG format

I don't know if this is the answer to your problem
but I traced a segmentation fault in our v.support
to an 'fseek' statement on a non-existent file deep
in the source code. The simple fix is to put
an empty file of the same name as the vector into
the dig_plus directory of your mapset database.

Try it, but as I say this is not necessarily causing
the segmentation on your system

On our system the fault only occurs with level 1
vectors (that is vector without topology ie without a
dig_plus file) any operation that produces level
1 vectors will cause this fault when v.support is
run (ie r.line, r.poly v.in.ascii etc).
Any operation that produces level 2 vectors (esp.
v.digit) will not produce this fault with v.support.

Dear Grass Users,
I have imported in GRASS a vector file in DLG format from ARC/INFO, I
have create a directory called DLG in my mapset, I ran v.in.dlg and
d.vect without troubles but when I ran v.support I got the following
message:
Segmentation fault-core dumped!
Does anybody know the solution or the reason?
How could I resolve this problem with v.support?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Best regards
