I haven't been able to reproduce this and have not heard back from the reporter. Closing as unreproducible.

If anyone thinks this is wrong, then please reopen.

Hi John,

thank you for looking into this bug report. I am using 0.8.4 on a Linux computer (OpenSuSE 12.3 64bit). But don't worry, I will see if I can reproduce the bug with the next release.

Best regards & season's greetings, Daniel

I cannot reproduce this problem. Which version are you using? Can you try with 0.8.4

Dear PSPP-team,

here is a bug that only bites beginners: If a variable is actually called "Variable", then "EXAMINE Variable" causes a crash. Please see sav-file and terminal output for an example.

Simple work-around: a variable must not be named "Variable". But still, it would be nice to get a warning message instead of a crash.

Best regards, Daniel
