Details:

The setup that I am using is unique. Several Windows clients use xming and
putty to run from an octave server.

I am not sure the method that is being used to exit the putty / xming setup,
or how gracefully it is being closed, but gnuplot processes are left defunct
on the host machine.

I am running 3.8.1, possibly with a single bug fix from the waitbar function
compiled in. Gentoo OS.

I am not sure if this is an issue with gnuplot, octave, putty, xming, etc. so
it might not be relevant but I though I'd log it somewhere.


ps aux | grep gnuplot
