I'm afraid I can't help with the specifics of this one, but one
approach I've tried with some success when I've had really peculiar
run time problems is using truss to find out what system calls the
errant program is making and what it's getting out of them.  That
sometimes uncovers file open failures that I'd never find otherwise or
similar odd problems.
