Re: [Gretl-devel] a lot of output messages (in stdout or stderr)

don't know whether it's a new thing, but with gretlcli

a huge amount of messages like these:
gretl_cholesky_decomp_solve: rcond = 2.88435e-08 (info = 0)
This output doesn't go into the specified output file (the "out" in
"gretlcli
-b prog.inp > out"), but ends up in what the server automatically captures in
a kind of log file for the job. First I thought it was a minor nuisance, but
now some of these files reached >150MB.
I remember there was something similar a couple of months ago, but that was a
different gretl message, and I think you then turned it off or diverted it or
something.
This message is going to stderr. It's not new. In some contexts if
gretl_cholesky_decomp_solve fails there's a fallback, in others not.
If there's a fallback then printing this message is probably
redundant; if not, it might be useful for tracing failure. But maybe
it could be scrapped altogther. If you're getting a ton of these
messages it seems you must be working with a lot of ill-conditioned
data!
