Package: gnuplot
Version: 3.7.3-1
Severity: normal
gnuplot doesn't handle integer overflows very nicely. In fact, it doesn't
handle them at all:
gnuplot> print 2305**2
5313025
gnuplot> print 2305**3
-638379263
gnuplot> print 256**4
0
Ideally, gnuplot would just treat all numbers as floats, and use no integer
arithmetic at all.

Hi,
it seems, the issue was fixed in 4.6.0 version. That is why I'm closing
the bug. Please, feel free to reopen it if you think the bug is still there, or
fill a new bug.
Kind regards,
Anton
