Ploticus 2.32 segfaults attempting to render the Icelandic Heritage Example and Windows Versions Example. (I didn't try the others.)

Updating to the latest 2.41 version of Ploticus solved the problem. The plugin dependencies probably need to be updated to something other than ">0". I don't know if 2.33 or 2.40 would be sufficient but 2.41 does work.

I have also only had experience with 2.41, although I do see an old install of 2.33 so perhaps that caused problems too.

I will update the docs stating for 2.41 is known to work, and others may work but are untested.

Thanks for all you recent bug reports, we appreciate them!
