 On 8.2-767.  Remove the empty /etc/olpc-security flag.  Restart sugar.
 Attempt to run Etoys and Scratch; note failures in launch.  No logs are
 written (just empty files in .sugar/default/logs).  Run Terminal and Read.
 Note that both launch without failure.

 This extremely cursory and informal testing suggests that the launch
 failure is dependent on whether the activity is written in python or
 exec's a binary or shell script, as both Etoys and Scratch run non-python
 binaries, whereas Terminal and Read are python-based.  Just a wild guess.
 It could be something else.
