This is yet another bug in -persist handling on Windows. If gnuplot is invoked with the --persist option but no interactive graph window is opened in that session, this will result in a zombie process.

This is particularily relevant, since double clicking in Windows explorer opens gnuplot scripts that way by default.

Applies to 4.6 and 4.7 branches.
