Package: gnuplot
Version: 4.4.0-1
Severity: normal

The 'pdfcairo' terminal misinterprets a "|" in the output filename.
An example:

  $ cat cmds
  set term pdfcairo
  set output "| cat"
  plot sin(x)
  $ gnuplot < cmds
  $ ls -l
  total 12
  -rw-r--r-- 1 sanjoy sanjoy 7503 Sep 15 14:33 | cat
  -rw-r--r-- 1 sanjoy sanjoy   49 Sep 15 14:33 cmds

So, instead of sending the pdf file to the stdout (as it correctly does
if the terminal is "post"), it created a pdf file named "| cat".
