I am getting errors when running "mate" only while logged in as admin. Things work fine when logged in as a regular user. This involves textmate 1.5.9 on OSX 10.6 and I am seeing the issue with both of my macs (mid-2007 imac and feb 2008 mbp). I did not encounter this prior to the Snow Leopard and textmate 1.5.9 upgrades.

Starting bash, then doing a "login admin" and then attempting to edit produces this error:

mate test.txt Tue Sep 8 03:09:15 Mothra-2.local mate[17070] <Error>: kCGErrorFailure: Set a breakpoint @ CGErrorBreakpoint() to catch errors as they are logged. _RegisterApplication(), FAILED TO establish the default connection to the WindowServer, _CGSDefaultConnection() is NULL.

the console is hung at this point until you hit Control-Z

Trying again with sudo changes the error to this:

sudo mate test.txt 2009-09-08 03:00:06.946 mate[17053:e07] An uncaught exception was raised 2009-09-08 03:00:06.949 mate[17053:e07] *** -[NSArray objectAtIndex:]: index (-1 (or possibly larger)) beyond bounds (0) 2009-09-08 03:00:06.950 mate[17053:e07] *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSRangeException', reason: '*** -[NSArray objectAtIndex:]: index (-1 (or possibly larger)) beyond bounds (0)' *** Call stack at first throw: ( 0 CoreFoundation 0x926b258a __raiseError + 410 1 libobjc.A.dylib 0x965a6f49 objc_exception_throw + 56 2 CoreFoundation 0x926f63f1 -[__NSArray0 objectAtIndex:] + 209 3 mate 0x000026e3 0x0 + 9955 4 mate 0x000037af 0x0 + 14255 5 mate 0x0000261a 0x0 + 9754 6 mate 0x00002535 0x0 + 9525 ) Trace/BPT trap

the console is not hung after this error message

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks
