R: R: R: PSPP-BUG: bug report

[Gay]

Sorry to have to report another problem...
I get the following message:

data list file='data11050.dat'/var01 1-11050 (A).
save outfile='data11050.sav'.
get file='data11050.sav'.
> warning: "data11050.sav" near offset 0xb2a5: Duplicate long variable name 
> `var01' within system file. 

Yours.

Thank you for reporting this bug.  I have confirmed it and devised a fix.
The fix has been checked into the PSPP CVS tree already.  Here it is, if you
wish to apply it to your source tree without using CVS directly:
