I see a considerable handle leak in pgnuplot.exe installed from 
octave-2.9.16-setup.exe (I wasn't able to run the fixed Gnuplot from the 
zip file).

The command plot(rand(100,2)) leaks 947 handles. Process explorer shows 
a large number of thread handles even though there are only two running 
threads when pgnuplot.exe is idle.

Best regards,
