continued heartburn over r.in.tiff

[martijn at scanner.frw.uva.nl]

For what it's worth:
After having had trouble with the r.in.sunrast method of import, we 
changed over to r.in.tiff and haven't had any trouble since. Perhaps you 
should try the reverse:
- use `xv' to convert the tiff file to sunraster format
- use r.in.sunrast to import
This method worked at our site about half of the time, perhaps you'll 
have better luck...
