Comment 2 for bug 1767670

I have been able to solve this.

The problem was the .profile file in the home directory of the userid. the PATH variable had a reference to a symlink in /opt. The content under the symlinked directory had 777 permissions. After changing that to something less permissive, the problem went away.

This is my PATH variable:

PATH="$HOME/bin:$HOME/.local/bin:/opt/sub3dtool:/opt/android/sdk/platform-tools:/opt/android-studio/bin:$PATH"

Then I set the symlinked directory permissions to 755:

gunner@minix:~$ ls -l /opt | grep sub3dtool
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Apr 22 10:47 sub3dtool -> sub3dtool-0.4.2/
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Apr 22 10:47 sub3dtool-0.4.2
