    _______________________________________________________

Details:

In fltk backend(not gnuplot backend), the "print" command generates a zombie
process.
>> plot(1:100);
>> print -depsc2 test.eps

To clear the zombie process, it needs to call the "waidpid" command manually,
like this.

>> waitpid(0)     

Is this a bug?
