The program below works perfectly in Ubuntu Linux (Spanish with local

The line which causes the problem seems to be "set force decpoint on". It is
surprising that this line is needed in Linux, but it makes the crash in
Windows and if you remove it, the program is succesful.
<hansl>
function void BCTplot(series Sciclo)
string sname = argname(Sciclo)

string smY = sprintf("%g",max(abs(Sciclo))+0.2)

I tried running this with the current 64-bit snapshot on Windows 8, in
Spanish and with decimal comma selected under Preferences: no crash,
the plot is displayed correctly. I then uninstalled the 64-bit version
and tried the 32-bit build. Same result. So at this point I have no
idea what might be happening in your case.
Could you try running gretl with the --debug flag and see if anything
relevant appears on stderr? Thanks.
