splot broken in rc4?

[Jacques Le B. <Jac...@ob...>]

Bonjour,

I'm experiencing a possible bug with 4.2rc4. This used to work fine with
rc2 and previous releases. I try to do a elementary 3D (s)plot:

splot "ex_splot.dat" u 1:2:3 w l

the file "ex_splot.dat" can be e.g. (only the 11 lines between the ----):

-------------------
1.0 1.0 1.0
1.0 2.0 3.0
1.0 3.0 4.0

2.0 1.0 3.0
2.0 2.0 4.0
2.0 3.0 5.0

3.0 1.0 4.0
3.0 2.0 5.0
3.0 3.0 6.0
------------------------

I get an error message:

"Wrong number of columns in input data - line 1"

with a "^" point at the digit "3" in the command line. I tried lots of
variations (terminals, files, fancy commands, etc...) without any success.
(s)plotting functions works (including pm3d and so). Older versions of
gnuplot accept all my files without problem.

Any idea?

PS: I compiled on a SuSE 9.3 (with all latest patches and upgrades). wxt
works fine, x11 too, etc...
