[TxMt] Problem launching TextMate from terminal in Leopard

Whether I launch textmate as:
mate
or
mate file.txt
Textmate eventually hangs and I have to do a force quite.  I am running the
same version of TM and Leopard as Tony.

The only time TextMate doesn't hang from the terminal launch is if it is
already open in the Dock.
