Hi,

I see the same thing with spearfish's elevation.10m FP raster
with GRASS 6.4.1. A quick look at the profile tool's python shows
it as treating the array elements as float, I'm not sure where it
is losing the precision.  Can you file a bug ticket for this?


thanks,
Hamish

ps- try for a work-around with the r.profile and/or r.transect
modules. The profile tool is just a front-end to those.
