[GRASSLIST:1775] r.in.bin

[Yan Fitterer]

Hi All,

First, congratulations for a briliant program.

My problem (is it a bug?):
I'm getting a gtopo30 file from:
http://edcdaac.usgs.gov/gtopo30/w020n90.html

The I try to import the .DEM file into Grass with r.in.bin

I get all OK (byte swap, signed integer, etc...) except that at a level of 
about 110 (going up a hill for ex.), the z (altitude) values suddently go to 
-120, and then increase in line with the terrain.

Has anybody seen that behaviour?

I'm running 5.0 beta 11 on Linux RH 7.0 (2.2.16 kernel)

Totally baffled at this - please help!

Thanks in advance 

Yan
PS - I know the values are otherwise read OK, as the sea is -9999 as expected.
