Re: [Gretl-users] Crash when compacting hourly data

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.
