I have a relatively complicated bootstrap script which works
with 1.7.3 (I just re-confirmed this) but stops working with
1.7.4. Gretl 1.7.4 just hangs (becomes unresponsive forever,
like being in an infinite loop) and has to be killed by the OS.
All this is on Windows XP, I cannot test on Linux before the
weekend (if that's needed).
I haven't had time to pin down the bug yet, but I suspect it may
have to do with the 'resample' changes that were introduced in
1.7.4. I'm using the resample command with matrices (well, the
pre-1.7.4 usage).
I don't think the resample changes in 1.7.4 touched the case of
matrices (where the dataset is not actually messed with).
This shouldn't be a platform-specific thing, so info derived from
running on Windows should be sufficient.
