I found the old message below in the mailing list archives; I find I am experiencing exactly the same problem, with RHEL4, StripTool 2.5.12.0, and base 3.14.10 on a 64-bit machine.

To be precise, if more than one curve is displayed, then clicking on the name of a curve to the right of the StripTool plot will cause that curve - and only that curve - to be displayed as if it was on the 0 to 100 scale.  All other curves will be displayed as if the minimum and maximum of the plot was set according to its Min-Max settings, even though the Y axis will always nonetheless read 0 to 100.  I also see the same error message that Mr. Lynch describes.

Has anyone else experienced this problem and found a way around it?

On the chance that it might be related, I also notice that toggling buttons on and off via the right-click menu tends to cause segmentation faults.  Here's a gdb backtrace:
