Re: [Gretl-devel] Possible issue with genseries()
Thanks. I will update my gretl install and try to crash it. ;-)
Quick question, is a string ok for the second argument? The help indicates a comand line
(RHS of the assignment statement) without quotes. I have been putting a string variable in
and it works. But is this an abuse of the function on my part?

This idiom will now work OK. (It's no longer necessary to quote the
expression "x * y", the workaround I mentioned yesterday.)
Also, I cannot figure out how to reliably replicate this. But
sometimes gretl terminates unexpectedly on the second time a script
is run when something (I am not sure what) is wrong with a
genseries() call.
In looking into this I found a possible cause of flakiness in
genseries(), which should also be fixed now (CVS and snapshots).
