Hello,

I did try to reproduce the fault but no success.

After trying in Portuguese, I did another try in Russian just to see if it was caused by translation errors, see the screenshot.

I even tried to compact (from hourly to 7 days) and no problems.

I use Fedora Core 19 x64.

As a Christmas Gift see below a link to an interesting Statistics Magazine (managed by many of my former teachers :))

(I think it is freely published, but please contact me if the link does not work).

Dear developers,

Today I came across an error that crashes my latest (straight from the CVS) compilation of gretl.
Consider the following sample file. I import it in the programme via drag-and-dropping; it says that the data have been interpreted as *undated*, and I choose “Yes” to set up the time series, and select the “Hourly” option, but the command log looks suspicious:

# Log started 2014-12-25 01:07
# Record of session commands. Please note that this will
# likely require editing if it is to be run as a script.
open /home/fifis/Downloads/bitc-test.csv
24 1:01 --time-series

So the last line seems severely truncated from the beginning. OK, let's try to compact the data via “Data” — “Compact data”. Wham! Crash. When I run gretl GUI from the command prompt (just to witness the crash and warning messages), it says “Segmentation fault”. Originally, I had used a larger data file, but it crashes in the same manner, so the attachment is a minimum working example.

I should be grateful if you looked at this issue... just after some decent holiday vacation! Merry Christmas and a happy Hew Year! To quote a great econometrician (Wooldridge) on Christmas, “For example, since Christmas always comes at the same time of year, we can expect retail prices to be, on average, higher in months late in the year than in earlier months.” Doing econometrics on Christmas night, what can be more glorious and swell?
