I think the exception of reliable behaviour on Windows comes from PSPP’s own webpage when it says “It is a Free replacement for the proprietary program SPSS”. Many probably wouldn't expect a “replacement" to require a different operating system to be a reliable replacement. Perhaps it should say “It is a Free replacement for the proprietary program IBM SPSS Statistics for Linux”.
