    Not that I have seen, but I am working at the installation and don't use
    pspp itself. :-) So this doesn't mean there can't be a problem somewhere.

This is true.  But my money is on this being an indirect call to
g_string_append ; ie, called from gtk, glade or some other library,
not directly from pspp code itself.  If I'm right, then this is a SuSE
bug, not a PSPP bug.

If you want to find out exactly from where this assertion is comming,
set the environment variable G_DEBUG=fatal_criticals and run psppire
through gdb to get a backtrace.

Thanks for the bug report.

ugh, the error is then:
=================
GLib-CRITICAL **: g_string_append: assertion 'val != NULL' failed aborting...

Program received signal SIGABRT, Aborted.
0xffffe410 in __kernel_vsycall ()
====================

This helps?
