Thanks for the report. You're right, something has gone wrong with
the parsing of ARIMA input when specific AR lags are requested. In
particular, as you say, if you specify d=1 (differencing) in that
context, you instead get a slew of MA lags.
It seems this problem has been sitting there since we introduced
the "specific lags" mechanism, but to date nobody has triggered it
(by trying to use specific lags + differencing).
The fix was a simple one-liner, but unfortunately I can't commit
it to gretl CVS or put it out in a snapshot right now, since the
business end of the sourceforge site is out of action. Hopefully
that will be resolved soon.
