Ok ... it only took a few minutes. My package manager still had the deb files or unpatched version :-)

I think Kai is correct. If I disable the check the old version of gnuplot appear to produce the same results they always did. That seems more proper to me. I'll modify the changeset and run a "make check" and run some more demos. If all looks good I'll post the corrected one later tonight.
