Hi all,

The crucial thing is the string-valued series in connection with storing
the dataset as a gdt file.
The trashed string-valued series, that is. In git the crash is now
headed off, with this error message in response to 'dataset compact 1
sum':
The dataset contains 1 string-valued series. Such series cannot be compacted
other than via the 'first' or 'last' method.
