I can confirm that your script fails in gretl 1.10.1 on Linux (and I
presume it would fail in gretl 1.10.1 on any platform).
I don't know the exact cause of the failure, but evidently it has been
fixed in more recent versions. I suspect the bug was connected with
the switch (in version 1.10.0) to a new command parser: there was some
fallout from the switch that has subsequently been fixed.
