I don't use GnuPlot on anything at the moment (have used it in the past, and may use it in the future, which is why I track this group), so I can't verify this.
But ... if these statistics are counts of columns and rows in the submitted data, which they certainly seem to be, then surely they would naturally be integer values, not reals? I'm sure you can re-cast them later into reals if you need reals, but the original metric is naturally an integer.
