I revived my access to a Tru64 box, and saw the same thing.  The weird 
thing is that if I change the affected function definitions into 
ANSI style, the problem goes away.

That would seem to go against the grain of the whole way gnuplot handles
pre-ANSI vs. ANSI C (optional ANSI prototype declarations, but K&R
definitions), which seems to be accepted by just about every other
compiler on the planet.
