Hi, Vincent

In i386

$ echo "foo" | gnuplot

gnuplot> foo
         ^
         line 0: invalid command

while as you write

$ echo "foo" | gnuplot -
Segmentation fault

which is indeed a bug, if '-' is supported should work, otherwise should
fail gracefully.

By the way, just noticed about 

#665832 gnuplot: Crashes with "Segmentation fault" on every command

happening in x86_64 (this may make things different from i386, where
things mostly work).
