[Gnuplot-bugs] crash on sparc64

[Jochen P. <j.p...@fz...>]

Hello list,
I am using your wonderful program like this:

        G N U P L O T
        Version 4.0 patchlevel 0
        last modified Thu Apr 15 14:44:22 CEST 2004
        System: Linux 2.6.8-2-sparc64

and everytime I hit the "del" key in gnuplot, it segfaults.
I have no idea why this happens, but it is very annoying.

I straced it:
fstat64(1, {st_mode=3DS_IFCHR|0600, st_rdev=3Dmakedev(136, 5), ...}) =3D =
0
mmap(NULL, 8192, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) =
=3D
0x7002c000
write(1, "gnuplot> ", 9gnuplot> )                =3D 9
rt_sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, NULL, [RT_0], 8) =3D 0
rt_sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, NULL, [RT_0], 8) =3D 0
read(0, "\33", 1)                       =3D 1
rt_sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, NULL, [RT_0], 8) =3D 0
read(0, "[", 1)                         =3D 1
rt_sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, NULL, [RT_0], 8) =3D 0
read(0, "3", 1)                         =3D 1
rt_sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, NULL, [RT_0], 8) =3D 0
read(0, "~", 1)                         =3D 1
rt_sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, NULL, [RT_0], 8) =3D 0
--- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) ---
+++ killed by SIGSEGV +++

Please let me know if you know a fix.

Cheers,
Jochen
