   There were some changes in the newer version of Gnuplot which are not
   compatible with older versions. That's why I had to rewrite some code in
   draw to fix the problem some months ago.

   Copy the current state of package draw from the repository and put it
   into the local share folder. That should work.

Thanks, Mario. I elected to write a sed script to filter
maxout.gnuplot, rather than do something more intrusive. Eventually
Ubuntu will pick up your changes and the problem will be fixed.
