Not really surprising.  PDFlib 6.0.1 is newer than that CVS version,
and made incompatible changes to the API.  One of them is that the 
PDF_open_fp() function has gone away, so gnuplot now has to use a more 
complicated technique to open its PDF output stream.

... but that can't be using 6.0.1 (or at least it had to be patched to 
use it).

You may have to use bisection on the date axis (guided by the 'cvs log' 
of pdf.trm to find critical spots) to find the patch that
broke this (starting off the first version that works with PDFlib 6).
