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.
