Thanks to Peter Teuben's efforts a solution has apparently been found.  Try
changing

typedef long PLINT; ==> typedef int PLINT

in include/plplot.h.  This fixes up a mismatch between the integer precision
in fortran and the integer precision of C long for this platform.

I hope we can make a more general solution in the CVS version of PLplot in
the near term.
