Andrew Roach has just made a fix for this bug in the svn trunk version of
PLplot, and this version continues to work for me (although I don't have
the combination of GD version and lack of freetype that triggered the
bug that Andrew Schein encountered.)

Andrew (Schein), would you be willing to try the svn trunk version to see
whether it works for your situation with a modern GD version and no freetype
installed?  From my experience the svn trunk version is currently just as
stable as our last development release with additional bug fixes such as
Andrew's. To access our svn trunk version, please follow the directions at
http://sourceforge.net/svn/?group_id=2915 (while paying attention to the
warning about accessing just the trunk unless you want to consume a lot of
bandwidth with our historical tags and branches).
