Package: gnuplot
Version: 4.2.4-3
Severity: normal

gnuplot has started responding to "set terminal" commands with
Segmentation faults for a great number of terminal types.

Example:

  $ gnuplot

I get Segmentation fault for these terminal types:

 aed512 aed767 aifm bitgraph cgm corel dumb dxf eepic emf emtex

While these do not crash gnuplot:

 wxt x11 xlib

Reverting back to the version 4.2.4-1 packages fixes the problem.
