Fernando,

I think it is OK in svn now.

Fernando,

Thanks.  That looks like a consequence of a change I made in the default 
switchover threshold between scientific notation and ordinary.  I will 
be happy to fix it, later today, I hope.  It's a pretty big bug.

Thanks for the tip.  I didn't manage to patch the bug in glibc6, but
based the discussion in

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=279294

I tried uninstalling my atlas3-sse packages, and the problem went
away.

Hi all,

this simple test

plot([3e-6,3e-5,3e-4])


produces with current SVN a vertical axis with all labels as '0'.  I
first saw this with some actual data I was working with this week, and
I imagine this isn't intended behavior.

It's not a big deal, but I figured I'd report it.

Cheers,

f
