I certainly have not seen this problem before - I'm guessing that the most
likely explanation is that "cadence" is being started via some non-Cadence
wrapper script which has the problem. But I'm prepared to be surprised - but it
would be useful to know what exactly the command being invoked was, and to do
the experiment that Graeme suggested.
