So can we close bug 1079?

That's good to hear, and somewhat better than the state of affairs on linux.
On linux, gnuplot+Qt5 works smoothly right up until the time you exit
the program.  Then the Qt5 exit handlers somehow get tangled up and cause
a core dump even though the program is trying to exit cleanly.
I haven't figured out how to disable or bypass the Qt5 exit handlers,
or otherwise persuade them to not produce a core dump.
Any ideas?
