Simplest is to not give empty plot titles.  Use "notitle" instead.

The onmouse symptom is weird, but since you can edit it out of the *.svg
file afterward it's not the worst part.  The other bug (which apparently
wasn't
fatal on your test machine) is that giving an empty title caused a zero
length
buffer to be allocated and used.  This could generate a segfault from
illegal
memory access.
