Re: plot window hangs

[Nobuhiko WASA]

As a result of some experiments, I think this problem comes from the
command of gnuplot and its timing on plot window.
I did the following script.
plot(1:10);pause(5);plot(1:10);

When one of plot window command ("m" or "e") is issued during pause,
hang-up does not happen.
When no plot window command is issued during pause, then the plot
window command is issued after the end of 2nd plot(1:10) command,
hang-up happens.

However, this workaround is very inconvenience...
