Package: gnuplot
Version: 4.6.0-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Hi,

gnuplot crashes on every command, returning a "Segmentation fault" error
(well, actually, on my french system, it's "Erreur de segmentation"). For
example :

me at E3PO:~$ gnuplot

	G N U P L O T
	Version 4.6 patchlevel 0    last modified 2012-03-04 
	Build System: Linux x86_64

	Copyright (C) 1986-1993, 1998, 2004, 2007-2012
	Thomas Williams, Colin Kelley and many others

Terminal type set to 'wxt'
gnuplot> help 
Erreur de segmentation
me at E3PO:~$


It has been exactly the same with any command I tried : help FAQ, plot
sin(x), set xlabel 'foo', etc.

I have no idea where it could come from. I would be glad to give you any
detail you may ask for.

Best regards,

Damien
