Does that contain the part which gives you problems? It runs without problems 
here (openSUSE 11.3 64bit, octave 3.4 built from 3.4.0 sources).
I assume you reduced it to 3 graphs because I find only commands for 3 figures 
in it but these are printed without problems.
If someone else can check that also, maybe I miss the obvious.
Tested with gnuplot and fltk backend.

How much memory do you have? Do you run kubuntu 32 or 64 bit?
