That tends to be caused by sending data faster than gnuplot can process 
them.  Pipes have a limited buffering capability.  Once the producing 
app gets ahead of gnuplot by more than that buffer's size, things tend 
to break.

We've had reports indicating that it sometimes helps to insert a little 
delay in the external program that drives gnuplot.

Neither of those attachments made it through to the mailing list.
