It does indeed, thanks! I find that your test script runs fine, both with current gretl and with gretl 2023c as built today from the historic sources using current gcc. I'm afraid I'm not in a position to test with the original Debian build of 2023c, but actually there wouldn't be much point in that since there's nothing we can do to fix a release from two years ago, even if we could replicate a problem and figure out its cause. Anyway, I hope that Jack's new hansl code does what you need.
