matplotlib-0.54 Win98 crash

Hi John, I can confirm that 0.54.1a fixes the crashing

Doh! There was one major problem in that I had commented out the
return in maplotlib.matlab.errorbar during debugging. This explains
all your problems with working on the return lines. The body of that
function should be

    try: ret = gca().errorbar(x, y, yerr, xerr, fmt, ecolor, capsize)
    except ValueError, msg:
        msg = raise_msg_to_str(msg)
        error_msg(msg)
    else:
        draw_if_interactive()
        return ret

I don't see any problems with the capsize or autoscaling. Perhaps
with this new code you can see if you are still having troubles and
post an example.

Sorry for the troubles,
JDH
