Whoops.  Lost along the line.  Checked into CVS now, and may or may not
make it into the upcoming beta. (might be another full build in time,

Hmm.  I don't use gnuplot (and thus didn't see the bug and don't have the
source handy), so if any x86/Linux users with glibc 2.1.x installed could
see if they run into the bug..
