[I'm moving this to gretl-devel
Actually you kept users on cc, but this now should only go to devel I hope.
In fact, it was pretty subtle: the C construct that was causing
trouble was
na(x[j++])
and you would think: "OK, this evaluates if x[j] is missing, and then
moves on"; not quite. In fact, na(x) has become (after the big NADBL
reoganisation)
I already suspected that it had to do with the NA recoding because it
seemed to be the only internal structural break which could have such
side effects.
Anyway, what I meant is that perhaps an extra quick release might be in
order, similarly to what was done with 1.10.1 (2015b) about the ADF test
breakage.
cheers,
