Yep, on Win 7, too.
Here's what I suspect may be the problematic part of the temporary gnuplot
input file which is created:
...
plot \
'-' using 1:2 title "x" w points
-1 0.8928068853
-1 -0.368285004
[...]
Ah, Microsoft's mktime() function doesn't handle dates prior to 1970.
I've now added a check for the useability of gnuplot's "timefmt"
mechanism depending on the starting date of the data to be plotted.
That's in git, not yet in snapshots.
