I found it; the app was segfaulting, and ``openapp'' was hiding the
problem from me. I'm appending a patch that fixes the problem.
Now it gets further, but not far enough to do anything useful. I
didn't have time to do any more debugging.
(Feature request: if an application crashes, ``openapp'' should
display ``Don't Panic'' in large, friendly letters.)
