Package: gnuplot-x11
Version: 4.0.0-2
Severity: normal

When suspended (using ctrl-z, shell is bash), gnuplot often goes into a
state where it generates a large ammount of cpu usage and communicates
intensively with the X server without apparently doing anything.  To
generate this state the following usually works:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ gnuplot

        G N U P L O T
        Version 4.0 patchlevel 0
        last modified Thu Apr 15 14:44:22 CEST 2004
        System: Linux 2.4.26-1-386
<...>

Terminal type set to 'x11'
gnuplot> plot sin(x) w l
gnuplot> 
[1]+  Stopped                 gnuplot
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$

Then move the gnuplot X display window.  The cpu usage then shoots up to
~100% and large ammounts of X traffic are generated (enough to saturate a
100Mbit network if running over an ssh tunnel).

I have tried this across several machines running sarge, with different
X servers and both local and remote X displays.  The version of gnuplot
in woody doesn't seem to demonstrate the problem.
