     For me this provides two separate tables, one for trust by ethnic, and a
     second for trust by generation.
     But I look for a table with one dependent variable in the rows and the 
other
     in the columns, such as
     
     means    generation1 generation2
     ethnic1    1.20          5.61
     ethnic2   14.40         17.61
     
     BTW, MEANS TRUST BY ETHNIC GENERATION makes PSPPIRE crash. 
     
     
For me it produces a table like this:
╔═════╤════════╤══════════╦════╤════╤══════════════╗
║     │ ethnic │generation║Mean│  N │Std. Deviation║
╠═════╪════════╪══════════╬════╪════╪══════════════╣
║trust│     .00│      1.00║4.00│1.00│           NaN║
║     │    1.00│      1.00║4.00│1.00│           NaN║
║     │    1.00│      2.00║4.00│1.00│           NaN║
║     │    1.00│      3.00║1.00│1.00│           NaN║
║     │    2.00│      1.00║3.00│1.00│           NaN║
║     │    2.00│      2.00║4.00│1.00│           NaN║
║     │    2.00│      3.00║1.00│1.00│           NaN║
╚═════╧════════╧══════════╩════╧════╧══════════════╝

and does not crash.

Do you have a complete use case (that is, complete syntax including data) which 
causes the crash?

If so, please file a bug report and it will be fixed.
