I was helping another student make some graphs with gnuplot, and ran it 
with:

   add gnuplot
   gnuplot < 3-tach.gnuplot

where 3-tach.gnuplot is a set of gnuplot commands.  Since she hadn't run 
gnuplot before, and was not running zwgc (she was running owl), 
send_message printed a message, interfering with the proper operation of 
the gnuplot script.
