This was discussed back in October - see:

http://www.python.org/pipermail/matrix-sig/1998-October/002356.html

and a patch was proposed.  However, the problem is still present in
NumPy 1.7.  The Gnuplot.py demo fails due to this problem, since it
does something like x=arange(10); y=x**2; plot(x,y)


I also would like to call attention to the patch posted in

http://www.python.org/pipermail/matrix-sig/1998-December/002504.html

Perhaps it's just because of the busy holiday season, but I haven't
heard back from anyone yet about this patch.  Will it be applied to
the next NumPy release?
