Hi, Damien

> Architecture: i386 (x86_64)

I see you use x86_64 (should it say amd64 instead of i386?). 

I cannot reproduce this in my i386 box, where new gnuplot mostly works
(still get a segfault sometimes, see #665432 gnuplot: using stdin makes
gnuplot crash).

If you have a box with a different arch, does this happen there?

Thanks for your feedback,

Regards,
