Details:

Dear PSPP-team,

here is a bug that only bites beginners: If a variable is actually called
"Variable", then "EXAMINE Variable" causes a crash. Please see sav-file and
terminal output for an example.

Simple work-around: a variable must not be named "Variable". But still, it
would be nice to get a warning message instead of a crash. 

Best regards, Daniel
