Hi Jim: This small off-by-one bug fix appears the perfect opportunity for you to learn how (as a new core PLplot developer) to push bug fixes to our SF server. So please do that following our rebase workflow rules in README.developers. Of course, if you run into any trouble with our workflow rules, we are here to help. I can see why you would be a bit more cautious about your more intrusive bug-fix patch series concerning the eop problems, but in that case as soon as I have completed the promised resize testing of the qt, etc., cases (probably later today) I will strongly encourage you to push that more intrusive bug fix as well. Of course, you should hold off pushing any of your new work (such as your new GDI device driver) until the start of the next release cycle, but bug fix pushes from all our core developers including you are very welcome right now since there is still sufficient time to test those bug fixes before our forthcoming release.
