The issue happens in standalone Octave as well: whenever Octave terminal output gets tied up by the pager, the plot window becomes unresponsive. Now, Emacs runs Octave through pipes and this is likely where things get knotty. In this case somehow the thread that is responsible for managing the plotting window seems to get stopped or the pipe that feeds data into the window does hang. I'm not sure how helpful this observation is in finding a remedy, but first I'd like to know if the current release version of Cygwin (I'm using the latest snapshot) shows the same behaviour. Sorry, can't roll back the Cygwin DLL myself for at least a few days.
