Is this on stable or master?

On master, I can't replicate that error on my own x86-64 GNU/Linux box. 
I just pulled and rebuilt to make sure I had everyone else's latest.

I've had my local repo in a state that would have generated that error. 
But I always run my tests before pushing commits, and there's nothing 
special about that plot that means I wouldn't have caught that error. 
So... I have no idea. Pull the latest and try again?

If it keeps happening, we'll try to get a stack trace or something.

Thanks,
