I noticed with the following strange Gnuplot behaviour which very much looks like a bug to me:

I checked this for three versions of Gnuplot:
G N U P L O T Version 5.1 patchlevel 0    last modified 2015-01-20 
G N U P L O T Version 4.6 patchlevel 0    last modified 2012-03-04 
G N U P L O T Version 4.7 patchlevel 0    


Start Gnuplot en enter the following commands:
set terminal pslatex size 25cm,17cm
set output 'test.tex'
plot x**2

When you have a look at the resulting test.tex file, the following three lines at the end of the file are missing:

\end{picture}%
\endgroup
\endinput

When running "set output 'test.tex'" and "plot x**2" a second time, a file test.tex without this error is produced.

I also noticed that when I put the three commands in a batch-file test.gp and run 
them as gnuplot <test.gp the file produced is also error free.

kind regards,
Hugo Coolens

p.s. I remember having noticed this behaviour years ago when using wxmaxima
which uses Gnuplot for graphics
