I have to report-back, though, that using corrected (DOS1) bands (== 
reflectances), EVI looks OK!, i.e.

	min = -1.27297025550878  max = 1.4896100159326

Noted (for tonight).

With the exception of using DNs (which is not good anyway for VIs), I 
wrongly(?) expected numbers ranging in [-1,1].  For example, when using 
"i.landsat.toar method=uncorrected" or any other transformed set of values 
(meaning radiance or reflectance).

Anyhow, will try to check tonight.

Thanks, Nikos
