Re: PSPP-BUG: PSPP crashes on file opening

[Przemek Powalko]

John, thank you so much!

I'm not familiar with GIT and the process of bug fixing but I changed the relevant line in sys-file-reader.c, rebuild the whole project and now PSPP opens the file without a single sigh!

Thanks again,

I pushed a fix for this.  Thanks for reporting it.
