Sorry for the delay.

The problem here follows an odd chain of responsibility. The "gnuplot"
program in the "gnu" locker is actually a script that depends on the
"gnuplot" script in the "gnuplot" locker, which appears to be broken
on 9.0 Athena suns. That script serves only to select the version
of gnuplot to use.

The simple workaround is to use

	add gnuplot; gnuplot-3.7

I've modified the gnuplot script in the gnu locker to do the same thing,
but that won't take effect until early tomorrow morning.

Thanks for the bug report.

Presumably the gnuplot locker maintainers will effect the correct fix
in the near term.
