Hi, Philip
I have successfully used i.tape.other this way before with no problems. I 
assume that your BIL file is multi-band; if not, you can directly copy 
the file to the GRASS cell directory and use r.support to build the other 
needed files. I'm afraid that I don't know what could be causing the core 
dump. Have you successfully run the i.tape.other command before?
