Hi,
I have a reproducible crash (on gretl 1.8.6, but don't know if the cause
was recently introduced or not).
It happens when you call the main function in the attached function
package with the same series in the first and second arguments (target
and cause), like so:
# in the context of denmark.gdt
matrix check = BreitungCandelonTest(LRM,LRM,null,3,100,0.05)
This is of course rubbish, but gretl shouldn't crash. (not a freeze, but
windows disappear).
I will update the function package to check for such bad input and then
upload the new version to the server. So for testing use the package
attached to this email, not the one that will soon be on the server.
thanks,
sven

Here's the updated package (version 1.2), which throws errors for varios
forms of bad input, and thus gretl doesn't crash with it anymore
(hopefully). Note that I wasn't able to upload the package myself
because I got the parsing error again, although I think I have only
ascii-characters in the help text now. So please replace version 1.0 on
the server with the attached version.
thanks,
sven

It's replaced now. The non-ASCII character was the page-range
dash.

Ah thanks, of course I should have rememberd that, I even mentioned it
myself before (I think).
Thanks also for the quick fix of the crash!

Thanks, that's now fixed in CVS.
