Re[2]: Problems with PSPP on Windows7

[Tom Gillaspy]

I seem to be making a bit of progress.  When I used a relatively small
dataset less than a 1,000 cases, it ran just fine, test after test with 
no indication of freezing.  As soon as i loaded a larger database
(around 50,000 cases which is no where near the limit of the program)
it would run the first test and then freeze on the second, every time,
regardless of test or database.  There is never an error message.  The
journal file does not even list the last command sent.  Nothing seems
to make a difference in this--not which command or specific database.
The result is always the same.  It seems to only hang up with
statistical analysis.  Commands like WEIGHT do not seem to make a
difference.
