Here's what happens exactly for me.

1. Check there are no lisp.run processesleft over from earlier
sessions.  There is one: kill it.
2. run "sage derivative.sage" from command line; no problem
3. Check again, and there is a new lisp.run zombie process.

If there is any kind of diagnostic I can run to dig into this, let me know.
