There is a known problem with the gd.c devices (png, jpeg, and gif) if
colour map 0 is changed in the middle of a plot. This happens in example 2
which is why running that example as part of plplot-test.sh generates all
the error messages.  We are still puzzling out a solution. Until we get a
fix in place, I think you should be all right if you avoid changing the
color map in the middle of a plot when you use -dev png.
