I don't understand, did the C program work? :-)

Why is this a class method? You should have done something like
free: arg [
<cCall: 'ber_free' returning: #void args: #(#self #int)>
]
free [ self free: 0]
and likewise:

This should also use an instance-side method.
Now it would be a nice exercise to turn it into a more Smalltalk-like API.
