At first I thought the problem was triggered by "--command" in general, 
but now I see that it depends on the contents of the commandfile. My 
original file was:

file test.x
set remotebaud 115200
set remotetime 1
set debug remote 0
target remote com2
load test.x

The critical instruction seems to be "target remote com2". (BTW it is 
executed, otherwise I couldn't download to the remote target). When I 
remove "target remote com2", and consequently the "load test.x", the 
problem disappears. Removing only "load test.x" doesn't help.

I have noticed that "target remote com2" causes an error window "no 
shared library support for this OS/ABI" to pop up. I could imagine the 
problem is somhow related to this window, since the audit trail of PR253 
reported the same when the Local Variables window is open at startup.

The error window did not appear in Insight 5.3, too.

All the best
