[Gretl-users] Re: Repeatable crash on frequency distribution on a string-valued data series from GUI

Hi Allin,
Another repeatable crash today. This is from a dataset that my student gave me.
After looking into the issue, I found that the problematic data series was actually read
as a string-valued
series that looked like numbers.
Once I corrected this data issue, the frequency plot was fine.
However, it still crashes on any string-valued data series.
Attached is the crash report.
This is weird. Normally, there is no problem with "freq" on string-valued
variables. Example:
<hansl>
open grunfeld.gdt
freq ticker --plot=display
</hansl>
There must be something funny in your student's dataset. Would you mind
sending it over? Thanks.
