Comment (by thomashargrove@…):
I am running OS X 10.11.4 and I've loaded PSPP 0.10.1. I've found some of
the sources of my troubles. PSPP crashes when requesting a four-celled
crosstabulation and when Statistics is set to calculate a Chi Square value
(which is the default setting for PSPP crosstabs.) Statisticians will tell
you that you shouldn't run Chi on a four-cell grid, but freezing up the
program is a fairly drastic solution. I'll contact the programmers at Gnu
to tell them of this apparent bug, although they must be aware of it since
four-cell crosstabs are very common.
I don't get the GtkSeparatorToolItem error statements if I launch PSPP
through X11 rather than through a terminal command. But the problem must
still exist since the windows aren't sizing correctly in X11, unless I
enlarge the windows by pressing the green button in the upper left-hand
corner of window.
Bottom line, I've got workarounds: always disable request for Chi Square
tests on four-square grids and launch PSPP through X11 rather than the
application command line launched through Terminal.
But these are still bugs that I will report to Gnu. Thank you for getting
back to me!
