Well, that's what I really needed to know…thanks for the check!
Apparently Apple has changed something in the system that screws up
shell scripts and pipes. NSUnbufferedIO is pretty much undocumented,
so I suppose I should try filing a radar. Logging /usr/bin/env is
probably the best thing I ever did in TLU for debugging :-).

That is odd. I've seen it once or twice with other programs, and usually
re-downloading will fix it. Safari screws something up, I think
(and I just downloaded and ran it to be sure).

I'm on the latest beta of Mavericks right now, but using Xcode 5.1.1.
I've already gone through the pain of signing all of my python scripts,
plugins, and frameworks manually, though. It's self-signed, so it won't
be perfectly seamless.

thanks,
