I've tried the latest distribution from
http://www.tatsuromatsuoka.com/gnuplot/Eng/winbin/, and the fix is
confirmed!

However, I've found something else. Steps to reproduce:

1) Start gnuplot.exe - either from an Explorer window or from the console
2) Plot anything - for example 'plot x'
3) Close the window, not by typing exit, but by clicking on the x at
the upper right corner
4) Observe the error window: 'Application error: The instruction at
"0x00000000" referenced memory at "0x00000000". The memory could not
be "read".'

It's always 0x00000000, and it's 100% reproducible on both Windows XP
(32 bit) machines I've tried.

Notes: this happens only with gnuplot.exe, but not with wgnuplot.exe.
Also, this doesn't occur if you change the terminal to "windows"
instead of "wxt".
