I rechecked the phenomenon: It was due to not *restarting *GRETL after
the memory allocation problem occurred.
With the subsample of 865 units (only trade within OECD) the 'genr
unitdum' works fine, so does 'dummify'!
The whole world trade file contains 33.132 units. Here dummify also
stops after creating some dummies with data error.
