It may be a bug, or not. Perhaps the algorithm just failed to converge.
Could you send your data so that I can replicate your problem?
I would go further than Jack, and say that non-convergence of
gretl's ARIMA routine is quite unlikely to be a bug, and probably
reflects a misspecified model. But if we can see your data and
model we can check that.
As for the incomplete clearing of the model specification dialog,
yes, that is a bug (or absence of expected feature). It's now
fixed in CVS.
