OK, I see what you mean. This is very fiddly on Windows, which doesn't do POSIX signals. It seems the message to open a file in a prior gretl instance was being sent OK, but not received by prior gretl -- probably because it was somehow being sent to the wrong window. We now make a more strenuous effort to identify the correct target window for the message. That's in git and snapshots.
