Sometimes you can't win.  That extra step (h0.01) was added to work around a
bug in earlier svg toolkits, most widely seen by users of Firefox versions
3.X.    At the time, this magic workaround fixed the rendering in Firefox
and did not seem to break anything else.  Now it seems that a new generation
of svg viewers exhibits a contrary bug; the tiny horizontal increment
should be invisible, but apparently some viewers handle it badly.

Since Firefox version 3.x and its ilk are long gone, I will see to it
that the old work-around is removed from future gnuplot releases.
I regret that I cannot offer a workaround for your currently problematic
viewers.  The gnuplot output displays correctly in current Firefox, 
for whatever that is worth.
