All vector geometry deleted after editing with v.edit

Description

I really hope there is a simple explanation for this one...otherwise this is a serious bug. I was running v.edit from the terminal on a polygon vector in 6.5svn. I was trying to break two specific boundaries in order to merge them in another v.edit run. Here is the output from 'v.edit tool=break' (ids were obtained from interactive querying):

v.edit map=Bonavista_Waterbodies_clipped type=line,boundary tool=break ids=2599,2618 --v

Number of areas without centroid: 1533
v.edit complete.

Next, I ran v.edit tool=merge, trying to merge two side-by-side boundaries that virtually overlap one another:

v.edit map=Bonavista_Waterbodies_clipped type=line,boundary tool=merge ids=2599,2618 --v

v.edit complete.

All vector geometry has been deleted! I have zoomed to full extent, I have exited Grass and tried re-displaying the vector, nothing. v.info confirms there is nothing in this vector:

v.info -t Bonavista_Waterbodies_clipped
nodes=0
points=0
lines=0
boundaries=0
centroids=0
areas=0
islands=0
faces=0
kernels=0
primitives=0

Please can you reproduce this behaviour in NC dataset?

comment:2 by epatton, 15 years ago

No, I can't. I tried editing a few vectors in the NC location and things seem ok, although I only had time to try for about 15 minutes.

Fortunately, all is not lost; I can return to an intermediate vector dataset and resume my edits, but it is still frustrating. I'll try and takes notes on what happens the next time around.

In this case can you send me sample location and exact commands?
