The most common problem is that the desktop doesn't properly fill the
argument vector of programs (i. e. argv[0] is NULL). Apart from that (and
maybe missing envariables) there is no difference between TTP and
invocation from a shell.

Frank, have you tested if the tools run under plain TOS?

I got messages like that too, but they occured depending on the hard disk
and not depending on Minix or MiNT version.
