So that would mean that (only) the latest version 2019c is affected?
(Released on July 2nd according to the log.)
Yes, I think that's right.

So far that seems to have solved it, thanks very much!
Glad to hear it! I'm trying to determine if a more rigorous fix is
feasible. There are two dangers: we hang looking for additional
output from gretlmpi that's never going to arrive, or a trailing
chunk of output goes uncollected! A "rigorous fix", if possible,
would preclude both of these cases.
