in the interests of science I typed mate . in a newly opened terminal window - TM started, but went unresponsive - I force quit it and got this in the terminal window:

Update.

I re-created the symbolic link (from the help menu)

mate . works fine (in a sensible directory) but still goes unresponsive if I invoke it at /~ (which is probably a daft idea!)

I confirm. The same here. Daft or not daft, this is not The Right Thing to react so on daft ideas of the user ;-)

but it did eventually open it (on my Mac Pro) and given that my home folder contains nearly 700 thousand items (227GB), I think it fair that TM goes and sulks for a bit.
