Thanks, Ignacio: this is now fixed in CVS.
The crash was related to the fact that, with so few datapoints, the 5% and
95% percentiles are effectively undefined, and this was unhandled (my
fault). Fun fact: this is one of the few fixes that was physically coded
jointly by Allin and myself, cause we happen to be in the same room at
the moment! :)
