Orion, I get that same run-time error message, but until now nobody else saw
it.  Thanks for the confirmation. My system is also 64-bit (amd64) so it may
be related to that.

It's interesting you get no hang on your 64-bit system (just the above error
message), but you do get a hang on your 32-bit system (i386).  Nobody else
has seen that with their 32-bit systems.  A hang is pretty serious (never
seen that before with PLplot). Are there any system log error messages
associated with it (perhaps it is waiting for a system resource?) or
anything else you can disagnose?
