Re: PSPP-BUG: pspp bug report

I suspect that Nouchine ran a command like
        pspp tobii_amygdala_pspptest.sav

PSPP isn't smart enough to figure out that it should read a .sav file as
a data file and tries to interpret it as syntax.  I guess it isn't
robust enough to handle the mess.

Probably we should both make PSPP more robust and make it handle .sav
files specially.
