The problem definitely seems to be gnuplot related.  For gnuplot version
4.2.2, revision 9097 works.  For gnuplot version 4.2.5, revision 9097
fails.  4.3 won't compile on my Hardy Heron box.  I suppose we could try
to work-around their bug if we could figure out how we are triggering it
or we will simply have to let it pass as being outside of Octave.
