Comment (by bbjimmy):
It appears to be an issue caused by a program writing to the standard
output device when there is no Terminal to priont to:
a yab script that demonstrates the issue:
#!yab
x=system("ls /boot/home")
open #1, "/boot/home/output", "w"
print #1 x
close #1
make the script executable then:
launch from the Terminal ... the output file contains "0", this is the no
error indication.
Launch from Tracker and the output file contains "2"m some undefined error
has occured.
