Thanks Allin so much for such a quick response and fix to the crash report.
Relating to the coeffsum and restrict command block, however, I have a few questions.
1. In my script, I need to make the coeffsum be quiet, but that seems not to be an option.
Would it be hard to add one?
2. Coeffsum gives a t-test reading while the restrict gives an F-test result. I prefer the
t-test result for it gives me the sign of the sum, but shouldn’t both be an F-test?
Thanks,
Fred

Thanks, Fred, for the detailed report. The problem is now fixed in git
and snapshots. In "coeffsum" (and in "restrict" more generally) we
were not setting aside enough space for very long variable names.

I agree that would be useful, similar to what has been added to (almost)
all similar commands over the past years.
(According to the reference it seems that the following test commands
still do not have such an option: hausman, meantest, runs, vartest,
possibly vif.)
2. Coeffsum gives a t-test reading while the restrict gives an
F-test result. I prefer the t-test result for it gives me the sign

The tests are totally equivalent since the F version has just 1 d.o.f.:
<hansl>
open hall
ols consrat const ewr vwr
coeffsum ewr vwr
eval $test^2 # the F version
restrict
b(ewr) + b(vwr) = 0
end restrict
</hansl>
Notice the identical p-values.

That's now enabled in git and snapshots.

Thanks Allin. Is there any deeper rationale for those (test) commands
that do not have the quiet option? (Well, apart from the fact and good
reason that it means more work for you right now.)

No deeper rationale (for any test command that deposits $test and
$pvalue). It's just a matter of
* add an entry in the big options array in lib/src/options.c
* revise the underlying C function to respect OPT_Q
and, if the command in question doesn't currently accept any options,
* revise its entry in the commands array in lib/src/tokenize.c
* revise the signature of the underlying function
* revise all calls to the underlying function to pass a "gretlopt".
