Hi,
simple script:
<hansl>
set verbose off
open dbnomics
string KRAJE = "AT BE BG CY CZ DE DK ES EE FI FR GB GR HR HU IE IT LT LU
LV MT NL PL PT RO SK SI SE EA12 EA19 EU15 EU28"
loop foreach KR @KRAJE --quiet
data Eurostat/irt_lt_mcby_q/Q.MCBY.$KR
endloop

and we get SIGSEGV.
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.
