[Gretl-devel] nasty bug in gretl 1.7.3

Hello all, I've found and fixed a nasty bug lately. Certain gretl commands, including tobit and some kinds of panel estimation, led to the creation of a temporary parallel dataset. In 1.7.3, if you have sub-sampled your main dataset (by some boolean criterion, not just shifting the sample start or end) and then you carry out one of these commands, you will not be able to get back to the full dataset. (The destruction of the temporary dataset confuses the mechanism for restoring the main dataset.) I'm looking for your advice here. I'd like to put out a new release soon. The question is, should this release be based on current CVS, or should I take the code as of the 1.7.3 release and patch for this bug (and one or two other small ones)? If any of you have time, if would be helpful if you can test current CVS (the Windows snapshot is also up to date) and see if you can find any breakage. Thanks. Allin.
