v.in.mapgen fails to load coastline from NOAA's National Geophysical Data Center

[vesnikos]

when im trying to input a costline in mapgen format taken from the said site, I encounter the following:

v.in.mapgen input=/home/nikos/datagis/coastline/6888.dat output=coastline

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/nikos/grass7/grass-7.0.svn/scripts/v.in.mapgen", line 198, in <module>
    main()
  File "/home/nikos/grass7/grass-7.0.svn/scripts/v.in.mapgen", line 129, in main
    outf.write(" %.8f %.8f %.8f\n" % tuple(map(float,point)))
ValueError: invalid literal for float(): #

    val = mapping[named]
KeyError: 'proj'

with the following command:

v.in.mapgen -f input=/home/nikos/datagis/coastline/6888.dat output=coastline

Im attaching the said coastline for further investigation.
