Hi Andrew:

I just got this:

time (nice -19 make -j8 install >& install.out)
*** glibc detected *** /usr/bin/octave: free(): invalid pointer:
0x0000000002b0fa80 ***

....

For the others here I had contacted Andrew off list earlier today
about a bunch of octave build warnings I am getting now.  So that
already implies PLplot is no longer in consistency with the octave
version (3.6.2-5) that is installed on my system, and now the above
run-time issue reinforces that idea.

I don't quite understand why I am getting these build warnings and
run-time issues now.  This version of Octave was installed a month ago
for this Debian Wheezy platform, and I have tested it several times
since with no warnings or run-time issues, but it is crapping out now
for some reason.

So I guess the next step is for Andrew to try and replicate at least
the build warnings.  It is always a crap shoot to attempt to replicate
run-time memory management issues so maybe they have been there all
along, and I just lucked out for this particular test run.
