Hi,

the solution was simpler that I thought: the problem was that print_NR_status() did verify 'set messages on/off' , but did not checked for 'set warnings on/off'. The patch in attachment.

Marcin,

of course in this case this is not a problem, because the patch is quite small and one can easily see what's going on, but generally speaking you may want to add the -w flag to "diff" (or "git diff") to suppress lines where changes only involve whitespace.

OTOH this (gretl_bfgs.c) is a good example where in git there's a mix of tabs and blanks (presumably stemming from emacs), and we said we want to get rid of the tabs (not only in these few affected lines, of course).

cheers
