I agree.  I checked in the following change.

  http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/c60a9e1a0372

Note that we were also leaving zombies for something as simple as

  ...plot something...
  close all

The patch I checked in should also fix that problem.

The popen2 docstring still needs to have a note added.  I'd be
grateful if someone else could take care of that.

Thanks,
