Ok, the necessary files are attached; probably needless to say, the frontend
script ("kpsw_testfrontend.inp") should be run with the other files in the
same directory (or somewhere else where gretl will find them), and then gretl
1.7.4 will hang. For comparison, with gretl 1.7.3 the pre-configured 50
bootstrap replications only take a couple of seconds on my computer, so after
ten seconds you can already be pretty sure it will not come back.
BTW, the latest snapshot doesn't change anything, as expected.
Good luck for the hunting!
Somehow, the problem lies with the fact that the return type is a list. If
you modify the big file as per:
--- permaconfbackend.inp 2008-04-03 16:21:27.000000000 +0200
+++ permaconfbackend_2.inp 2008-04-03 16:23:35.000000000 +0200
@@ -725,5 +725,7 @@
list results = results GGlownaive GGupnaive SWPlownaive SWPupnaive
list results = results GGlowHall GGupHall SWPlowHall SWPupHall
end if
- return list results
+
+ matrix ret = { results }
+ return matrix ret
end function
and modify kpsw_testfrontend.inp accordingly, it runs fine.
