I have used the attached script in Octave to generate .eps files from plots
with gnuplot.  Yesterday I updated gnuplot to 3.8xxx from 3.7 and found a
problem:  unless I modify the script to break the link with gnuplot (replace
the last gset command in the script with "closeplot"), all of the .eps files
generated (except for the last one) are unreadable, containing what looks
like a bunch of nulls (^@'s) followed by a Helvetica font command on the
last line.

I have a work-around (close and restart gnuplot for each new .eps file), but
this seems like a problem that may require some attention.

I haven't had time to check whether the problem is specific to the
octave-gnuplot interface or if it's gnuplot specific.
