Re: gnuplot.exe hangs instead of exiting on Windows 7

[Bastian M. <bma...@we...>]

Tatsuro Matsuoka also noticed that console gnuplot has problems 
executing plotstyles.gnu (creating files). I don't see any of those 
problems here on my system - but then again my build is without libgd, 
pango/cairo etc. and my computers are running XP and Vista.

I cannot test his executables here since my virus scanner claims to find 
a trojan - but 41 scanners at virustotal.com disagree and don't find 
anything.

Have you, by any chance, tested his previous version (18th March)?
