This should be reported upstream and fixed there!

Wouldn't that break older version of aquaterm on Darwin?

I just find similar bug already report to upstream, but sadly the status is "closed-out-of-date"

I am sorry to forget to consider this, and I am not sure about this, probably will break old version. And my Mac OSX version is 10.9, so this hack maybe also not work on older version of the OS.

PS: I just find the macport also do similar things, http://trac.macports.org/ticket/34423

Got fixed upstream. Please try gnuplot-5.0 !
