We can say that the next release of gretl is so important that Jack and
Allin get in the same room to work on it! ;)
I just wanted to say that this small script is a good candidate for a
Regression Test (software speaking). I have confirmed the crash and the fix.
It would be very useful if we all collect a set of scripts to do Regression
Tests whenever a new build is done.

Thanks, Ignacio: this is now fixed in CVS.
The crash was related to the fact that, with so few datapoints, the 5% and
95% percentiles are effectively undefined, and this was unhandled (my
fault). Fun fact: this is one of the few fixes that was physically coded
jointly by Allin and myself, cause we happen to be in the same room at the
moment! :)
