OMG.  Now, who on earth ordered _that_?  It was a mistake to do this 
this way, back when candlesticks were originally added to gnuplot.  This 
absolutely should have been governed by 'set boxwidth'.

Anyway: I've re-checked, and it seems you'll need to (wait to) upgrade 
to the next release (4.2), or take your chances with a development 
version (a.k.a. "4.1").  A "whiskerbars" options was added to the 
candlesticks style in the meantime.
