What gives? --- [vonhagen@les01.supelec.fr: Re: exp(x**2)*erfc(x) not correctly plotted]

[adavis@saipan.com]

I did try the procedure mentioned below in gnuplot.  An apparent error does
happen to me, something similar to what is mentioned in the below.  

Is this indeed an error in "linux"?  If so, traceable to what?
