I get conflicting results.

If I import it into an x-y location, I seem to get the behaviour which
you describe. OTOH, If I import it into the appropriate lat-lon
location, I don't have any problems (the only areas with negative
altitude are where I would expect, i.e. Holland).

NB: I'm running the latest 5.0 CVS, and there's a bug where it ignores
the rows/cols parameters if you specify N/E/S/W (I've fixed this, but
CVS is down right now so I can't commit it).

Glynn,

I just located and fixed one of the problems with r.in.bin. It was not
reading the rows and cols supplied by the user as reported by Jan.

I was not sure if you had applied a fix to the CVS for the other (?)
reported problem(s). I will hold off applying the above fix until we
have hopefully picked up (and fixed) all problems.
