Pointtype 0 isn't missing --- it's just so small that you have to crank 
up the zoom quite a bit to see it (600% or above).  The only real 
problem in that plot is pt1.  That should be a + or so, but it's a dot, too.

Too many variables:  3 different types of CPU, 3 OSes, 3 different CVS 
versions of gnuplot (20060923, 20060703, 20040703).   You'll have to 
reduce the variance to get a meaningful result.

For all you've shown so far, this could be a bug in either PDFlib or 
pdf.trm that only shows up under very specific conditions.

Does normal plotting work better than 'test'?  E.g. does 'plot sin(x) 
with points pt1' contain proper '+' symbols?
