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

open /home/fifis/Downloads/bitc-test.csv
24 1:01 --time-series
So the last line seems severely truncated from the beginning.
It's missing the "setobs" command-word. That's now fixed in CVS.
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.
Thanks for the test case! This is now fixed in CVS and snapshots.
