I have had similar things happen when GEM programs I was debugging
terminated abnormally. The next thing I try to run locks up. Perhaps
things mess up if GEM resources are not de-allocated properly. Do your
programs close all open workstations and call appl_exit() before
terminating? Just a guess, but the desktop might do this automatically
while gulam might not.
