 Sounds very strange. gl2ps-renderer uses the c open function to open the file, overwriting the old file.

Can you send a script that will always reproduce the problem?

Do you know what kind of open it uses?  Just write, or??  Actually, as I think of
it, it could not have done an fopen with "w" since that results in an empty file
with a new time/date value.  What happens is that the old file remains with
its time values unchanged.  So, I think that someone must be testing for whether
the file exists.  The most strange thing is that if, say, 10 plot commands are put
in a script the first 3 or 4 work normally and then it fails to write the rest.

I will try to put together a simple example.  My current plots are inside a lot of other
stuff.

In the meantime I just noticed that semilogy does not work correctly.  The xlabel. ylabel,
and title are not positioned correctly.  Typically, only the xlabel appears at all.  I would
guess that semilogx has same problem and maybe loglog, ...

I will work on the problem with overwriting files, but in the meantime my "solution"
of doing a system("rm xxx") before each plot call works reliably.
