strange auto tic behavior in 3.8j with timeseries data

[Kelley, S. <Sco...@di...>]

In order to using scalable png's, I just installed gnuplot 3.8j onto a =
Redhat7.2 box.  I'm trying to plot timeseries data.

The autofreq's xtics are not behaving right (i.e. like they did under =
gnuplot 3.7).

They go to hour intervals well before they should.  And (even worse) the =
x axis gets stretched to be an hour, even if the data only covers part =
of the hour.  35 minutes seems to be about the point the problem =
manifests.

Any ideas ?  My attempt to force expected behavior with various xtic and =
mxtics options have not worked.


Example -

set xdata time
set xtics rotate
set timefmt  "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"
set format x "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"
set terminal png small
set output "broke.png"
plot "broke.csv" using 1:3 with lines
set output "works.png"
plot "works.csv" using 1:3 with lines
