Almost certainly the following problem is my misunderstanding/error and not a bug in pspp. However, in the remote chance there is a bug, here's my report:
proximate cause:
Segmentation Violation
version:
GNU pspp 1.5.3-g8d023f
host_system:
x86_64-w64-mingw32
build_system:
x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
locale_dir:
C:\Program Files\PSPP-TESTING/share/locale
compiler version:
10-win32 20210110
I was attempting to add a numerical value to a cell that had
a value missing. I first made the mistake of inserting/attempting to insert the
value into the cell itself. It froze. I then tried clicking other empty cells,
then the ‘escape’ key. Then I attempted to enter the value in the correct way, i.e. in the
‘entry strip’ at the top of the data sheet. That’s when I got the error
message and everything stuck. Windows 10 is the OS.
