[Kst] Wht's left for 2.0.8 ?

[Peter Kümmel]

Hi Ben,

many thanks for this detailed feedback!

I've enabled some debug output in the ascii data reader.
Could you try to reproduce the crash when loading the live data
and post the debug output?

It now logs when reading a column starts.
Maybe this helps us to figure out what's going on.

Thanks,
Peter
