Hello, this bug has recently started appearing on Debian/unstable (i386). Do you have a fix available somewhere? You mentioned a "next release", but afaict plotutils is still at 2.6 and there does not seem to be a source repository either? TIA, cu Andreas -- `What a good friend you are to him, Dr. Maturin.
