I tried running this with the current 64-bit snapshot on Windows 8, in
Spanish and with decimal comma selected under Preferences: no crash,
the plot is displayed correctly. I then uninstalled the 64-bit version
and tried the 32-bit build. Same result. So at this point I have no
idea what might be happening in your case.
Could you try running gretl with the --debug flag and see if anything
relevant appears on stderr? Thanks.
