Details:

I have noticed that if the pager "less" is active in the interpreter it is not
possible to close the GUI and exit normally. Then if you exit the pager, the
GUI finally exit with a "octave exited with signal 6" message.

Just rand(300), then try to close the GUI and finally close pager to reproduce
the situation.

I think it has something to do with the GUI waiting indefinitely for the less
process to end. Maybe a signal should be sent to less for killing it at that
point.
