Fred, thanks for the report but can you give us some more details, please? I
can see from the crash dump that there's a buffer overflow in
print_equation_stats() in the model table code, but on a simple test I'm not
able to replicate the problem and it's not obvious how it's coming about.
Actually I've spotted one possible failure mode in
print_equation_stats(), now fixed in git and snapshots. I'm not sure
if this is the active problem in your case, but it's worth trying
the current snapshot.
