PSPP-BUG: [bug #20564] GUI crashes when attempting to enter value labels for long string variables

[Ben Pfaff]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #20564 (project pspp):

Here's what I'm planning to say about this issue in the upcoming developer's
reference:

  Numeric and short string sets of value labels may contain any number
  of entries.  Long string sets of value labels may not contain any
value labels at all, due to a corresponding restriction in SPSS.    In
  PSPP we could easily eliminate this restriction, but doing so would
  also require us to extend the system file format in an incompatible
  way, which we consider a bad tradeoff.

Disagreement welcome.
