Andrew, Yes, the problem seems to come from the freeing/releasing of dynamically loaded libraries. Hazen and I (more Hazen than I) tracked this down a short while ago, but the exact source of the problem is unclear. The fact that it works in both the OCaml toplevel and Octave may provide more help. In the mean time the plend1 workaround seems to work in all cases. I have this in a lot of code locally and have not faced any segfaults when sticking with plend1. Thank you for the information on Octave. I still wonder if this is a bug in PLplot or if it is something Debian related. I have the problem on both Debian and Ubuntu but not on Fedora. Hez -- Hezekiah M.
