Definitively a bug. gp5.03 on windows has mixed reactions. First try
gave an error message that gnuplot_qt.exe has crashed. Next try with
new terminal worked after a hang of 30 seconds or so.
After starting a new session the command to close the terminal
window is first silently ignored, then crashes gnuplot_qt.exe again.

Looks like the "close" command can get lost in the communication
between gp core and the terminal code.
