PSPP 0.8.4 crashes when entering missing data in new string variable

[sascha]

1.) Description: Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS Release: 14.04

2.) pspp:
  Installiert: 0.8.4-0ubuntu3~trusty1

  Versionstabelle:

3.) Create a new variable in PSPP and set it to 'string' and its content to 250 (nominal scale). If you try to enter the missing data value, PSPP will crash. This bug is replicable.
