Well, yes, gretl will only go so far in trying to give unique names
to the components. For more control over the process, use the
function form, princomp().

Dear Allin, is this the expected behavior? In the example
above Gretl is saving different series with the same name.

But as far as I know, it could not be possible to have two
series with the same name. Am I correct?
