Tried the debug launch, this is the log for a failed connection:
http://pastebin.com/3WyrhdXq
So it looks like the client is closing the connection (I think). It
seems it cannot find /dev/tty, even though it is there and it has the
rights to access it.

What I find very strange is that there's a different behavior from the
command line and when launched from an application. The command is
exactly the same :(
