It would be more user friendly not to exit the program, however.
Instead it should be possible to disable the mouse interaction=20
until the next replot, and bail to the command line with an error
message int_error(). =20

Do you see any problems if the assert() statements were replaced by
   if (whatever) {
	[do something to disable mousing];
	int_error(NO_CARET, "error message");
   }
