That looks like the gnuplot bug related to 4D data. The problem is that gnuplot
is mixing the scaling of the z-axis with color data (4th dimension). If memory
serves, you can try adjusting your z-axis to verify. Just make sure the zlim
encompasses the extent of the colors.
I recall patches being produced for both gnuplot 4.3 and 4.2, and am sure 4.2.3
does not include it (although I did patch my 4.2.3 sources and it worked fine).
The patch may have made it into 4.2.4, or it may have just missed the cutoff.
Perhaps it is prudent for someone to download the developers sources for 4.2
and compile to see if the problem is then resolved ... sorry I don't have the
time at the moment ... my work and home life are a bit too busy for such
leisure activities ;-)
