Missing $ when using epslatex terminal---Please advise

I am using the epslatex terminal so I can include figures in my LaTeX
document.  But I am getting an error message from LaTeX under some
conditions.
I have attached a minimal example hoping someone can assist me.  I have two
gnuplot figures included in this LaTeX file, one of them I am just plotting
the simple "test" command.  There, everything works fine.  The second figure
is a real world example.  I am plotting data from a file and I am fitting
that data to a line.  When I run latex on this example I get the error
message copied at the bottom of the email.  Is this a bug or is it something
I have done wrong?

Thanks in advance,
Jeremy

$ latex example.tex
This is pdfTeXk, Version 3.1415926-1.40.9 (Web2C 7.5.7)

Hi Jeremy,
I would look into your minimal example - but there is no attachement with your
file, it either got lost or you didn't send it ...

Moreover, the following information would be helpful:
- what version of gnuplot are you working with,
- what is your system basis (linux / windows / mac),

Take care

if you really want to see the pictures above - use some font
with constant spacing like courier! :-)

are you using some mathematical constructs, like subscripts or superscripts,
in the title or in labels without enclosing them in $'s ?

Here is my minimal example again.  Hopefully it doesn't get lost this time.
