I have had a similar problem with SDTS files and r.in.gdal.  I submitted 
a bug report and did some troubleshooting.
It seems that there is a memory leak that causes r.in.gdal to overwrite 
itself and cause a segmentation fault.
I had done some debugging and isolated it to a certain file/subroutine.
The source code is probably not being intepreted the same on different C 
platforms.  On one it works and on redhat 7.3/9.0 it gives a 
segmentation fault.

Here is the link to the bug report:
