Comment (by hamish):

 It still locks up on Linux.

 bypassing xterm-wrapper and hardcoding xterm is not a viable option for
 linux. that script is there for a reason... many distros don't ship xterm
 by default (they typically use something more bloated (gnome-terminal) or
 minimalistic (rxvt) or generic symlink to x-terminal-emulator)

 By hardcoding it on Mac you probably will now get a more confusing error
 message if X11 isn't installed than the additional one produced by the
 wrapper script.

 what is the error you get on the command line?

 it is likely the source of this bug will cause trouble elsewhere, so
 simply plastering over it ain't the best outcome..
