I regularly make log-log errorbar plots where the errors are larger than
the y values. This means that the error bar goes a finite distance
upwards, but should go infinitely far downwards. In Debian's 0.87.7-0.3
package, just the top portion is drawn, which seems like a reasonable
solution. But in Ubuntu's 0.90.1-2ubuntu1 package, trying to do a
plot like this causes an error. Any ideas?
