Aha. You didn't tell us that part.
But then the error message is correct.
You have told it that you will provide a separate line of data containing
the key titles, but you didn't do so.  So you got an error message.

Crash? What crash?  You said nothing about that either.
You just reported an error message.

So now I am testing with
   set key autotitle columnheader 
   splot 'ex_splot.dat' using 1:2:3 with lines

and indeed I get the same [correct] error message you originally
reported.  But no crash.
