Hello PyMOL users,

We have problems with starting pymol from another application and are
unable to find the reason.

A short listing demonstrating the problem is here
http://www.rz.charite.de/bioinf/strap/PymolBug.java

The problem occurs only on some computers.
On the computers where it occurs it is  completely reproduce-able.

On most computers pymol is correctly started and the protein given as 
argv[0] is loaded.

However on one LINUX PC a problem occurs if and only if java version
1.4.2 is used.  The same java version worked, however, on another
LINUX PC with very similar configuration which has a faster CPU.  The
problem occurred also on an MaciBook, java1.4.1_01

The problem presents as follows:

Pymol is started and feels fine until after 10s the load-command is
send by the java program via standard input to pymol

Immediately after receiving the data pymol is frozen and revives after
terminating the process-object in java with destroy.


Has anyone seen something similar?

Greeting, 
   Kristian Rother
