 I think the problem in ticket #1674 was a bug, which I think has been
 resolved since?

 This ticket is more an enhancement request. The current behaviour of
 r.cross seems to be that NULL values are treated as a category. If that is
 indeed the correct behaviour, I would suggest to add a flag similar to the
 -z flag, but for NULL instead of 0 (zero) values. So, the description of
 this flag (let's use the -n flag)

 ''With the -n flag NULL values are not crossed. This means that if a NULL
 value occurs in any input data layer, the combination is NULL (no
 category) in the resulting map layer, even if other data layers contain
 non-NULL data.
 ''

 I would in fact have expected the above (an output layer is NULL where one
 or more layers have a NULL value) to be the default / more logical
 behaviour.
