John,

Sorry for the delay.

Attached is the SPSS output.

I also ran PSPP and I notice that PSPP calculates negative SS for this
analysis, which produces negative MS, Negative F's, etc. 

If I add "select if( not sysmis(agree_score))." before GLM, I reproduce
the SPSS output.  Seems like not treating missing values is part (or the
entirety?) of the problem? I wondered if perhaps SPSS 24 might mark
missing values in a new way that is confusing to PSPP? But that's pure
hypothesizing...
