I cannot say certainly what you met is a bug or not at the moment 
because of lack of detailed information.

However, I have been using many scripts setting the plot range in the 
same way as your example 1 on gnuplot on windows, cygwin ans ubuntu 
(mainly 5.1 (cvs) built myself) without problems.

Can you provide a small script that reproduces segmentation fault on your computer?
