The following results in a crash using cvs from 13.01.2014 in Windows 7:
<hansl>
printf "Test %s",
</hansl>

Is there some context we're missing here? In your script, was there a line
following the "printf" command, and if so what was it?
If I try this, just as stated, with current CVS I get the expected error
message, "Command has insufficient arguments".

It is just this single line which leads to a crash and no error message
here on windows. So it seems this is comes from the fact that no argument
is linked to %s.
Did you try it on windows as well?

I can confirm the problem with a recent 32bit-snapshot on a 64-bit Win7.
Gretl doesn't literally crash, but goes into inresponsive mode
"forever", so I have to kill it.

When gretl comes across a trailing comma in that sort of context it's
treated as a line continuation signal (like "\"), so it seems that gretl
is waiting for more input, but there's none.
Having tested some more, I see 3 cases:
1) run script via gretlcli: you get the "insufficient arguments" message.
2) enter this line via GUI console: same thing.
3) run script via GUI: you get the hang as gretl waits for more input.
So case 3 needs fixing; I'll look into it.
