Janis, I don't think there's anything special or tricky or unconventional about 
the way emelFM2 runs commands, so it's hard to guess where to investigate.

You might try building with make-option NEW_COMMAND=1 (which enables an 
alternative, sometimes bad, mechanism to run external commands). See if that 
makes a difference. (The "bad" is wasted CPU activity sometimes, not fatal).
