I can confirm that, and I'm seeing this:
' matrices c...'
*** buffer overflow detected ***: terminated
Aborted (core dumped)
It's due to the massively long statements defining arrays of
critical-value matrices. A fix should be forthcoming shortly, but I
don't think such statements are the right way to store big matrices.
Better to put them into .bin matrix files and load them on demand.
Well, maybe. I admit it was a lazy solution (copied over from the
original Ox code), but apart from the fact that it has "just worked",
the advantage is that a user can inspect those tables quite easily. If
we store the tables as bin matrices, it seems to me we would hide them
away. Of course, in principle we could reproduce them in the help doc.
Or would there be another way of making them accessible - I mean apart
from telling people to manually poke around the directory where the file
is stored and then using mread() ?
