Hello

 I send you a list of bugs which have been detected by Julie Séguéla
when she was writing the documentation for GNU/PSPP in french.

 Seven of them occured with the following message

«You have discovered a bug in PSPP.

  Please report this, by sending an email to address@hidden,
explaining what you were doing when this happened, and including
a sample of your input file which caused it.
Also, please copy the following lines into your bug report: »

  You will find first the command file which has produced the bug
then the message produced by GNU/PSPP

  Then there are few "bugs" which did not produce this specific
message

********************************************************************


DISPLAY SORTED command provides strange results, it sorts the variable
but not in the alphabetical order.


***********************************************************************

In SAVE command it is impossible to use subcommands such as /DROP,
/KEEP, /RENAME etc...

************************************************************************

In the FREQUENCIES command  : centiles above 50 are calculated ONLY
if NTILES subcommand is written before PERCENTILES subcommand:
