It's ok. no need for that.  I was wrong anyway it was 1.4.3 all along.  I 
did find a way to keep this from happening.

import PyPlot
PyPlot.switch_backend("Agg");
PyPlot.pygui(true);
PyPlot.ioff();
PyPlot.svg(true); 

and then use

fig = PyPlot.gcf();
display(fig)

but that does not consume the figure, so you must perform PyPlot.gcf() 
afterwards, or just before the new figure.

I would recommend trying a newer Matplotlib, and on OS/X I strongly 
recommend using the Anaconda Python distro.  Anything else is a big 
headache to maintain in the long run.

What OS are you on, and what Python distro?  I haven't noticed this...
