This is due to a limitation of Aquaterm / Gnuplot combination.

If you either switch to Gnuplot's X11 terminal ...

        close all
        setenv GNUTERM x11
        fiigure (1)
        peaks ()

... or switch to the FLTK backend ...

        close all
        graphics_toolkit fltk
        figure (1)
        peaks ()

... then the "close" command will work.

The inability to close an aquaterm window existed for 3.4.3 on Homebrew as well.
