Bug#834396: Workaround with CPU binding

[Tian Bo]

I ran into the same crash problem when I use 'reread' command to update my
plot. As pointed out in the above post, using single thread could work
around the bug. However, rebuilding gnuplot may not be  an option for most
user.

My workaround approach is to run gnuplot in a single CPU core by means of
the command 'taskset' (on linux). For exmple:

taskset -c 0 gnuplot ...

This command runs gnuplot on CPU 0, so that it is effectively a
single-thread process and the problem is avoided.
