Well, bloody hell.
I can't replicate now. It was about four weeks ago I tripped over
this and I absolutely saw it in action repeatedly - I could see
gnuplot loading the same file in its process buffer, and only one
file being created on-disc too.
Maybe I updated org since then, but I didn't think so.
Sorry to have wasted your time. If it comes back I'll let you
know.
Computers! Who'd have 'em?
