Ah, OK, from the output (included at the end) I got the clue that
actually the used code is in plugin/stepwise.c instead. (I had discarded
that possibility because that file at the top has the comment "*Forward*
stepwise plugin for gretl,")
Anyway, so below there's an example output [...]
Thanks, that helps. I don't know why BIC is becoming NaN, but it's
clear that we need to flag an error and break out of the omission loop
with an informative message as soon as that happens. That's now
arranged in git and I should be able to put up new snapshots within
the next couple of hours.
