Description
Any pyocd (version 0.14.2.dev12) command, including list, causes the Linux Mint 17.3 running the MATE desktop to lockup to the point the computer must be reset. A terminal window is available and can still run top/htop. Before switching to MATE that the Cinnamon desktop locked up as well. I think my problem has something to do with conflicting versions of Python, but don't know where to look for log files or some debug that could help untangle the mess.

Research direction
Reproduce an arbitrary pyocd 0.14.2.dev12 command on Linux Mint 17.3 with MATE, then collect the relevant logs and Python environment details. Compare behavior with the previously affected Cinnamon desktop and use the available terminal tools such as top or htop. Done means identifying an actionable cause for the desktop lockup or documenting a reproducible failure with useful diagnostics.
