Yes, I can cc your Savannah user ID on any bugs that look Mac-specific
(not quite as shiny as GitHub, but you should get a message).

Users don't always say up front whether they installed from a bundle,
port, brew, bottle, or etc, but I'm assuming the slight surge in reports
is at least party due to the availability of the bundles :)

​WRT of the bundles. Do they all include gnuplot or at least some of them ​

​assume gnuplot installed in "standard" location?

I have noticed that even on linux octave is not the most graceful when

gnuplot_binary points to a wrong location:

>> graphics_toolkit gnuplot
>> gnuplot_binary ("/tmp/junk")
>> plot(1:2)
popen2 (child): No such file or directory
warning: broken pipe

(and I have to kill octave process w/ multiple Ctrl-C)

​

I can only guess how bad it is going to be on Mac.
