Re: [Gretl-devel] bug which is new in 1.7.4

Hi,
I have a relatively complicated bootstrap script which works with 1.7.3 (I
just re-confirmed this) but stops working with 1.7.4. Gretl 1.7.4 just hangs
(becomes unresponsive forever, like being in an infinite loop) and has to be
killed by the OS. All this is on Windows XP, I cannot test on Linux before
the weekend (if that's needed).
I haven't had time to pin down the bug yet, but I suspect it may have to do
with the 'resample' changes that were introduced in 1.7.4. I'm using the
resample command with matrices (well, the pre-1.7.4 usage).
I haven't tested a recent snapshot yet, should I? I may be able to test some
more this afternoon (Central European time).
Debugging something like this is most likely near-impossible unless you
provide a testcase. The smaller, the better.
