This makes sense. 'help lines' says that it understands single-column data.

This makes sense too. 'help yerrorbars' doesn't say anything about
working with 2-column data. It'd probably be good to add that, but at
least it does what it says.

That's weird. :) 'help binary format' clearly says that this should make
2 columns available, so I'd expect this to fail same as above. I agree;
this sounds like a bug. I'm seeing a different failure, though: my
gnuplot segfaults. Craig: can you attach the data file you're using?
