This has actually been fixed for some time, but I guess I forgot to close the bug.

Your test case works fine if you fix the first line:
DATA LIST FREE (",") /name (a20) age * .

PSPP's DATA LIST FREE command lacks spss's ability to explicitly sepcify the delimiters to use. This makes it impossible to parse some text files, particularly those generated from popular spreadsheet programs.

For example:

DATA LIST FREE "," /name (a) age * .
BEGIN DATA.
Fred Bloggs, 34
George W. Bush, 5
Mr. Bean, 15
David, 43
END DATA.
