I've messed with DEMs, though not through GRASS, and have found some
software is very sensitive to CR LF <=> NL (LF) conversions carried out
by some transfer methods The most notorious is going through DOS (MS or
Novell).
Since the definition for DEMs is pretty strict the extra characters
created could be the problem. You might look at the USGS (?) documentation
for DEMs and figure out which way they want the file. (I don't have a
copy at hand so can't look myself.)

Appreciate the advice - I removed all the newline charachters except
between the individual records - now I have another error...
Reading profile 1 of 360
ERROR: get_int: can't get more buffer - Unexpected end of file.
Any insite would be appreciated...

Can you put this DEM on a ftp site I can get to. Compressed, zipped or
some such would be best. Trying to debug long distance is a pain.
I wrote some perl scripts to convert DEMs to XYZ coordinates but that
was a while ago so I can't remember all the gory details. The
routines are still working for the DEMs we get/use so I can check for
problems with yours.
I'm sure we can solve this but I'm working the net with a few handicaps.
I do news and mail via a modem connection I pay for so big files transfers
cost. (Please don't mail it.)
I have telnet and a batch mode ftp from work but it uses SOME terminology
I'm not familiar with so ftp must be pretty straight forward.

ps. I think we should move this out of news-land to mail-ville until
we get this solved then the results can be posted. I can be reached
weekdays at fswa/s=r.anderson/ou=r01f04a@mhs.attmail.com or
andersr@iia.org once or twice a week.
