My NSServices tests currently are:
1) open GWorkspace and Terminal (there is a bug that needs terminal to 
be running for the service to work... but that is Terminal I think)
2) grab a folder and use the "open shell here" service of terminal
3) type & select an url text (like "www.bing.com") and then use the open 
URL in vespucci service.

I will run the applications with the flag you suggest. I suppose opening 
them in a separate terminal with that option and seeing what output we 
get is what you have in mind.

yes, I recompiled both, although i can try 
uninstalling/cleaning/reinstalling them. Perhaps I missed to recompile 
SWK, but it shouldn't matter and in any case Terminal doesn't use it.

Who other has access to SPARC? Perhaps on Solaris?

Sebastian, can you try on your OpenBSD/sparc box?
