It seems that the error is caused by a change in the sample size. Using
the full range works fine (tested on other data sets) but as soon as I
change the sample start arbitrarily the error occurs again. Only
changing the sample end (leaving the start at its first observation)
does not lead to any error.
So that would seem to confirm my speculation... Actually while trying to
reproduce this behavior I found another bug (this time clearly not a
gretl bug) so I will prepare a new version that tries to squash them both.
