GNU Octave, version 2.0.16 hangs up using Gnuplot

[Dadgar Javid, Gholamreza]

Hi all !

I am facing a "Hang-up" problem using  GNU Octave, version 2.0.16
(i386-suse-linux-gnu)
combined with Gnoplot Linux version 3.7.

Runnig some Octave scripts involving plot-commands of Gnuplot which
displays garphics as PS.files, 
lead SOMETIMES  to a hang-up. In such cases, both  OCTAVE and GNUPLOT 
hang up.
Process info  (ps -elf |grep octave ; ps -elf |grep gnu) looks like as
following:

000 S javid    27124 12548  0  60   0 -  2824 pipe_w 12:00 ?       
00:01:26 octave
000 S javid    27456 27124  0  60   0 -  1505 pipe_w 12:01 ?       
00:00:03 gnuplot
000 S javid    27457 27456  0  60   0 -   647 pipe_w 12:01 ?       
00:00:05 gnuplot_x11
000 S javid     7275  7259  0  60   0 -  1673 read_c 14:59 pts/17  
00:00:00 gnuplot

Who could give hints on the issue?

Thanks  in advance
