Hello everyone,

In my research I needed the uncertainties in my linear fits. I've always
used PDL::Fit::OO for linear fitting (because I wrote it, it has no Fortran
dependencies, and know it well enough to work even on my students'
machines), so I finally got around to implementing a covariance matrix
calculation.

I encountered an error (segfault) when my student tried to run the
covariance calculation on his Windows 10 machine. It seems that the
combination of GenericTypes and a temporary piddle cause things to go bad.
To fix the problem, we just commented-out the GenericTypes line before
compiling on his machine. As such, I don't have access to the exact error
anymore. The student has a fairly new version of Perl (5.20s) and installed
PDL within the last 12 months, so everything is fairly fresh.

Still, it seems like a GenericTypes constraint together with a temporary
piddle must be *somewhere* in the PDL codebase, so this kind of issue
should have cropped up. Does this ring any bells? Is there something I'm
doing wrong in my code?

Thanks!
David
