Thanks, Marcin. We have two separate problems here: * the series you want is not available for all countries. If you use the line string KRAJE = "AT BE BG CY CZ DE DK ES FI FR \ HR HU IE IT LT LU LV MT NL PL PT RO SK SI SE \ EU28" things are ok. * As for the remaining countries, the "catch" modifier make the loop go ahead in all cases except for Estonia (EE), which provokes the segfault. Of course we need to robustify the dbnomics scripts to cases like these; at any rate, segfaults shouldn't happen. I'll have a look at this later today.
