New grass-windows Problem

[kapo coulibaly-2]

I'm getting the following error trying to generate vector contours from a raster using the brand new GRASS (Sept 21 2009)

r.contour --overwrite input=out output=out minlevel=0 maxlevel=140 step=5
Invalid argument: can't _spawnl
Unable to start driver <dbf>
Unable open database <D:\Kapo\GISdata/scratch/General/dbf/> by driver <dbf>
Unable to find table <out> linked to vector map <out>

A new version of the native WinGrass installer (not OSGeo4W or Cygwin)
has been posted on the GRASS download page.

This release is based on GRASS 6.4.0svn (r39271) and fixes more
problems for installs in paths with spaces (eg c:\Program Files)
especially for the TclTk GUI. Hopefully this build will fix the
critical windows bugs #593 and #637.

Download here: http://grass.osgeo.org/download/index.php#g64x

For known issues check (although this page is getting out of date):

Please test and report any other problems.

This "Invalid argument: can't _spawnl" has been reported also in
http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/ticket/629#comment:18

but I don't know if it is related.
