Terminal.app and .command Files in Panther
.command file support is broken for me in Panther.
I have a command file on my Desktop, call it "foo.command". Terminal.app is not running. I double click it, it launches Terminal.app, it runs the command in a new window. Fine. I do it again, fine. As much as I want to, keep doing it, it works.
But then ... it stops working. For no reason. I try again 20 seconds later, and it no longer works. I click, but no window opens. I don't do anything but simply wait. What is UP?
I even completely removed my com.apple.Terminal.plist file, so it is not my prefs, it seems. What is UP?

"It is the common fate of the indolent to see their rights become a prey to the active. The condition upon which God hath given liberty to man is eternal vigilance; which condition if he break, servitude is at once the consequence of his crime and the punishment of his guilt."
