Failure to run `nb.jar` on MacOS

See original GitHub issue

When trying to use nb.jar (either built locally or downloading latest release, currently 4.15.93) on MacOS, I get stack trace like:

bin % java -jar ./nb-4.15.93.jar --list-drivers

the only invocation that succeeds is one without arguments; any command-line arguments trigger this exception.
