| Hi all,
| I have the following problem:

| contains a line
| gnuplot_binary="c:/gnuplot/bin/pgnuplot"
| 
| This works fine until I issue a "clear all". After that any plotting command
| results in "gnuplot not found" or "broken pipe".
| I notice that before the "clear all" command "who" shows in the section
| dynamically linked functions __gnuplt_init__. After the "clear all" this is
| no longer there.
| When I try to redefine the gnuplot_binary variable (which actually still
| shows the correct path) I get a segmentation fault.
| Can anybody help with this?
| I wanted to use a clear all surrounded by save and load to reclaim memory
| that gets fragmented during computations with large datasets. I get frequent
| segfaults due to this.

| Thanks
