Package: gnuplot
Version: 4.4.0-1.1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
Small (<10**(-9)) numbers in the current version of gnuplot (4.4.0-1.1)
in the debian repos leads to overflow, but -- importantly -- no warning
is given. In this sense it is similar to bug 360087.
----
Example 1.
print 10**(-9) gives 1e-09
print 10**(-10) gives 7.09186959928599e-10
print 10**(-11) gives 8.22536045240377e-10
print 10**(-12) gives -1.37479727789259e-09
Example 2.
set xrange [10**(-9):10**(-12)]
plot x w linespoints
gives a linear plot with y values decreasing from 1e-9 to -1.38 as a
function of x.
----
The bug is not present in binaries which I compiled from the v4.4.4
source downloaded from the gnuplot sourceforge site.
The bug has been reproduced on four different machines running debian
testing 64.
The bug is important, as using this particular version of gnuplot for
fitting will likely lead to misleading results which may end up in the
primary literature.
