Yes it does.

cmake-2.4.7-RC-10 does not work with PLplot.

Here are the error messages generated by the cmake command:

Syntax error in cmake code at
(no filename given):-1:
syntax error, unexpected cal_SYMBOL, expecting } (31), when parsing string
"EXAMPLES_DIR=${EXAMPLES_DIR:-.}"
Syntax error in cmake code at

"scripts_dir=${0%/*}"

The above problems all appear to occur in one configurable bash file. We
configure that file with @ONLY to avoid interpreting the bash syntax, and
that works for 2.4.6.  So it appears this is a bug in cmake-2.4.7-RC-10
where an incorrect attempt is made to parse ${} constructs when @ONLY is
specified.

Once this issue is fixed, I would be willing to try another test.
