Yep - now I get the same error as you.

I get that error, too, when there are no spaces between "x*y" Could you try " x * y" ?

But sometimes gretl terminates unexpectedly on the second time a script is run when something (I am not sure what) is wrong with a genseries() call. Sorry I cannot yet give more info on this, but I will keep experimenting. Thanks, Logan
