import of large shapefile in GRASS-db crashes 6.4.3 + 7.0 beta2

[janhuizinga]

OS: Windows 7 GRASS versions: 6.4 + 7.0 beta2

I'm trying to import a shapefile containing 9,354,125 point of type 2.5D in a GRASS-db. Size of this shapefile: 328MB for shp-file + 301MB for dbf-file. If I try to import it WITH creating an attribute table it only loads half of the points and then exits with an error message (message attached below). Size of coor-file in GRASS is then 173MB.

If I try to import the shapefile WITHOUT creating an attribute table it fully converts the points, but reports an memory error during "Registering primitives ..." Size of coor-file in GRASS is then 337MB (message attached below)

Error messages in command console below:

Did you use GRASS 6 in both cases or does GRASS 7 generate the same errors?

[neteler]

I suggest "wontfix" since GRASS GIS 7 addresses large vector file support.

Replying to neteler:

GRASS GIS 7 addresses large vector file support.

So, isn't this "fixed" (for 7.0) or at least "worksforme"?
