Gnuplot hangs on Windows XP

[tim ceretti]

Hi all,
 
I'm having the same problem that is described in the thread below - gnuplot hangs when I try to do a plot in Octave. I can reproduce the problem every time.
 
I'm using Windows XP, Version 51. (Build 2600.xsp_sp2_gdr.090804-1412: Service Pack 2) and Octave version 3.2.3 configured for "i686-pc-mingw32".
 
When I try the following commands in Octave then gnuplot plots the plot and then just hangs (using 0% cpu). The plot is unresponsive to cursor input and when I close the plot (by clicking on the "x" to close the window) then I am unable to generate any further plots in Octave (subsequent calls to plot(x,y) don't do anything - other than hanging octave).
 
The sample code is:
 
x = 0:0.1:3;
y = exp(x);
plot(x, y);
 
The threads that I see running in gnuplot when gnuplot is unresponsive are:
!CreateThread+0x2e
!CreateThread+0x22

Neither do I. Everything works fine for me. That's why it's
difficult to help or make suggestions, as long as I'm not able
to reproduce your problem. Would you have maybe another
XP box around where you could check whether the problem
is also present?

Michael.
