[Gretl-users] eigensym() issue?

Hello all, It seems that running the following code crashes gretl in my computer. For some reason more than 128 "series" less than 146 does not work in the eigensym() command. I am not sure if it is my computer or a "bug" ... or just me (i have a feeling i am doing something terribly wrong..) I run gretl on MS_windows (x86_64), 2015-10-19 version 2015d Please find the code below (thanks for your time!!). Note: when i change 129 to <=128 or to >=146 then it does not crash. nulldata 600 setobs 1 1 --special-time-series list xlist = null loop i=1..129 --quiet series x$i = normal() xlist += x$i endloop scalar cT = $nobs scalar cK = nelem(xlist) matrix mX = {xlist} mXdm = (mX .- meanc(mX))/cT matrix XtX = (mXdm'mXdm) matrix Ve0 = {} #ascending eigenvectors matrix Va0 = eigensym( XtX , &Ve0 ) **************************************** Ioannis A.
