Re: PSPP-BUG: pspp crash

[Friedrich Beckmann]

Dear Elia,

thank you very much for your bug report. You are using version 0.7.9 which is

quite old. I tried your syntax in the current version 0.10.2 and it produces a correct error

message.

My recommendation is to use a current version of pspp. You are using linux, so you

could compile it yourself or you upgrade your distribution. On Ubuntu you could

use Adam Zammits PPA

https://launchpad.net/~adamzammit/+archive/ubuntu/pspp

On Debian you could use the pspp backport for wheezy.

Regards

Friedrich

Dear Respondent,

I encountered the following crash:

(/home/ilmari/src)pspp crash.pspp 

******************************************************

You have discovered a bug in PSPP.  Please report this

to address@hidden.  Please include this entire

message, *plus* several lines of output just above it.

For the best chance at having the bug fixed, also

include the syntax file that triggered it and a sample

of any data file used for input.

proximate cause:     Segmentation Violation

The syntax file is:

(/home/ilmari/src)cat crash.pspp 

GET DATA /TYPE=TXT /FILE='./phase1.csv' /ARRANGEMENT=DELIMITED /DELIMITERS=',' /FIRSTCASE=2 /QUALIFIER='"'

   /VARIABLES=conm A40.

In fact, the file phase1.csv did not exist on my disk so the code would not work. But it should give an error message instead of crashing.

Best Regards,
