Spool.flatten crash

[madm]

Not sure exactly what causes this but flatten applied to a large enough spool will crash EViews. Sample code to reproduce:

Code: Select all

logmode l wfcreate q 1950 2050 series x = 1 series y = 2 delete(noerr) sp spool sp for !j=1 to 20 delete(noerr) sp{!j} spool sp{!j} for !i = 1 to 50 delete(noerr) g group g x y sp{!j}.append(name=graph{!i}sp{!j}) g.line next sp.append(name=pack{!j}) sp{!j} delete(noerr) sp{!j} next sp.flatten 'CAUSES EVIEWS TO CRASH show sp

In practice, we have had crashes when flatten is applied to a spool with as few as ~20 items but not as reliably as above.

Hello,

A fix for this issue will be available in the next EViews patch.
