I'm not on a Mac and don't have access to one, so this is a stab in the dark but: Can you invoke it from a shell and see it it coughs up anything useful to the command line? And now for the truly bizarre idea: are there any GUI automation tools for the Mac that can see a window has come up and send it Alt-/ immediately just in case it can give you an error console before it dies? Throwing the nearest thing to hand at google gives me hints about a thing called automator http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/300.html#automator which might be able to do this, but I've not read far enough to find out. Referenced from: http://the.taoofmac.com/space/apps/Automator which says it is rather limited, which may have changed, or not. Hugh
