no idea about the bug, but FYI that "south:" is from the fourth line of the mapset's WIND file (WINDow==region)

Default region is in the same format but saved in $MAPSET/PERMANENT/DEFAULT_WIND


It is not uncommon that a map projection's coordinate be a negative number. Maybe a very big negative number. False northings and eastings are often used to prevent that, but they happen.

can you run a backtrace on the segfault?
