gnuplot end of the problem should be fixed. It remains somewhat
worrying, though, that Emacs would be so irresponsive while waiting for
the subprocess to end --- not that many newbies would have known to try
Ctrl-G to break it out of its busy-looping state.
It is not so bad as all that. Many things in Emacs can loop, and people
need to know about C-g.
That doesn't mean there is no room for improvement here. Perhaps Emacs
should use a different criterion. But I am not sure what it should be.
(Currently it waits for all writers to close the pipe, and then for
termination of the original process.)
