Trivial indeed. I was focused on the "or else", but in fact
the first alternative is the easy one.  The buffer is empty=20
when the program starts, so I moved the call to setvbuf()
out of X11_init() and put it right at the start of plot.c where
the other I/O streams are being initialized.

The X11 paste buffer is now working, and piping through awk
now works too.  I left the call to setvbuf() protected by
#ifdef X11 but I doubt that it needs to be.  Are any non-X11
platforms also suffering lost characters in the input stream? =20
