>From my boss:

" v = [rand*700 30]" works,
" v = [700*rand 30] does not

-----------------------------------
"save" saves lots of stuff that we didn't generate.  e.g., I, Inf, LOADPATH,
etc.  When such a snapshot is "load"ed, these things attempt to write-over.
The system will not let them be "written-over". It sez "use load -force".
When this is used, you get a system error.

(error: caught SIGSEGV -- stopping myself...)

---------------------------------------------------------
[This may be a gnuplot bug]
Consider the following script:

for k=1:7777;
m=6*rand;
n=6*rand;
for i=1:33; for j=1:33; a(i,j)=log(i/m)*sin(j/n);end;end
v=[rand*700 30];
mesh(a)
end

When the surface drops low enough, it will "clip" the Z-axis in the
front right corner even though that axis is in front of the surface!
