PSPP-BUG: [bug #33036] System files with incorrectly encoded variable names cannot be opened.

[John Darrington]

Update of bug #33036 (project pspp):

                 Summary: GUI crashes parsing inline data with non-ascii
variable names. => System files with incorrectly encoded variable names cannot
be opened.

Follow-up Comment #6:

I can confirm that the crash has been fixed.

But file #23253 still cannot be opened.  It seems that this file
contains a variable name which UTF8 encoding would be appropriate.
However the file claims to be encoded in ISO-8859-13.

Hence pspp regards the variable name to be invalid.  So it should not have
been possible to create this file.

I wonder thou if we should be a little more forgiving about "invalid" variable
names.  If somehow such a file gets created, a user might not care too much if
the variable names get mangled.  But if their data cannot be opened they'll
care very much.

Mindaugas:  How exactly did you create this file?
