Thanks for the report.

I could not reproduce this problem under GNU/Linux with the latest
version of PSPP.  I don't know what version you are using, but it sounds
like it is from Nov. 5, which is quite recent.  If so, then I'll need
some more information, like a backtrace.  If Harry Thijssen is
listening--are you out there Harry?--then he might be able to reproduce
this and get a backtrace for us.

I guess the only difference here is the commas.  I checked in a change
to allow commas in this syntax.
