For me, I do not have any good idea for this matter.

The CVS version is open to the people who would like to use the latest feature.
In the process of build or using gnuplot, they will notice a flaw or flaws and will
do feedback. The feedback will help to the bug fix introducing the new features.

When I notice the flaw like this time, I will report as soon as possible.
