Thanks for an explanation. Unfortunately the proposed fix does not
work and gnuplot
crashes. How long are you planning to keep wx 2.8 in archive?

gnuplot is a critical package with popcon > 70k. We cannot keep it broken
for a long time. I hope upstream will help us to fix it but I if we do
not solve the
problem within the next few days I would switch gnuplot back to wx 2.8.
