I use open together with dynamic-vc to implement a sort of terminal-based
full-screen windowing system (as I can't use X).  I do something like

$ open -s -- <command> <args>

(shortened by a shell script :-) ).  In this case it's pine with no
arguments.

I've been using this for over a year, and run almost everything I use in
this fashion.  For all of that time, I've been using a previous version
of pine (I think it was 3.91 or something ...) with no problem.
