[Gnuplot-bugs] Script parsing in version 4.0 (testcase)

[Lutz M. <ma...@uc...>]

I noticed the following behavior of gnuplot 4.0, see the attached file: the 
command
  cat test.gp | gnuplot -persist
aborts with the error message "invalid character", but running this script 
from within gnuplot with the "load" command works just fine. Under gnuplot 
3.7.1, both methods produce the desired result.

I'm sorry for the very strange looking testcase, I couldn't reduce any more 
and still trigger this behavior. Even deleting a single space in front of the 
"plot" command cures this problem.
