For the record: There was a bug with the cool shorthand bundle creation
function _() (recently introduced with gretl 2021a) in very special
circumstances inside a loop and if the even shorter variant was used.
This bug was now fixed by Allin, but if you happen to get bitten by the
bug (quite unlikely) and need a workaround for gretl 2021a, then instead
of writing:
bundle b = _(mymatrix)
you can write the slightly longer form:
bundle b = _(mymatrix=mymatrix)
and it should always work.
cheers
