Ok. For what it is worth, the actual error message from the PLplot  
library is inside the () brackets, i.e. "Too many tries.", the rest  
is just cl-plplot wrapper. That particular message seems to come from  
(1) PLplot trying and failing to open a file or (2) The user failing  
to properly enter a integer / number when prompted for one at the  
command line.
