[Debian GNUstep maintainers] Bug#332634: gnustep "openapp" broken in debian unstable

[Kristian Rink]

Package: gnustep-make
Version: 1.10.0-6

Running GNUstep applications using

openapp <Application>.app


seems to be broken. Most of the time, doing so results in the machine
almost locking up, until finally (obviously due to excessive memory
usage), the kernel starts killing processes. Doing "ps fax" in such a
situation shows that obviously the openapp script is looping endlessly
in order to start gdnc (which actually, is initially running but not
found to be running). Besides this, last line in "/usr/bin/openapp" is

<snip>
opentool "$tool" "$@"
</snip>

but, taking a closer look, the first opentool to be found in $PATH is
/usr/bin/opentool which in fact is a symlink to /usr/bin/openapp -
another endless recursion?
