Commentary from John Darrington:

There might be a complication here.  The latest version of libplot
contains a bug which causes it to generate invalid postscript.

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-utils/2003-12/msg00023.html

I guess we can write a work-around which mutates the output stream as
it's produced.

It's a bit of a let down that the libplot maintainers still haven't
applied this patch 18 months after it was contributed.  Libplot also
suffers from a lot of memory leaks.
