Could this have anything to do with the fact that when I plot:


gnuplot> set parametric
gnuplot> set size square
gnuplot> r(t) = 1 - exp(-0.25*t/pi)   # the radius as function of t
gnuplot> plot [0:25*pi][-1.1:1.1][-1.1:1.1] r(t)*cos(t), r(t)*sin(t)

(from Gnuplot In Action, by Philipp K. Janert)

I get a spiral of straight lines rather than a curving spiral, as shown 
in the book?

Is this a reason to be using 64 bit linux?
