This works fine, but only with current CVS.  I've been giving John a ton of 
nasty tests for log plotting, and he's fixed most problems.  I do still have a 
dataset which causes an abort in the C++ extension code, but he's looking into 
it already.  So in short, if you update to CVS, most of your log problems will 
be fixed.  And John should have the last remaining nasty killed soon.

Additionally, CVS has dramatic performance improvements in several areas, 
noticeable mostly for plots with many elements.

Best,
