The bug report you are referring to is with gnuplot.

The mail list you've sent your inquiry to is for octave.

I recommend you update you gnuplot to a more recent version.

I'm not a Windows user, so I can't help with that, but for someone to help you, 
you'll need to tell us where you got your copy of Octave from.
