OSSubprocess 0.2.5 fails in Pharo 6.1 64 bits (macOS)

When trying the simple example (ls -la /Users) in Pharo 6.1 64bit you get a
talkback because
ExternalAddress integerAt:put:size:signed: fails using
'primitiveFFIIntegerAtPut' in module 'SqueakFFIPrims'

Something to do with OSSubprocess not accommodating 64 bit pointers perhaps?

Same code works fine on 32bit version.

VM is CoInterpreter VMMaker.oscog-eem.2254 Jul 20 2017 for macOS downloaded
from pharo.org/downloaded page

Regards,
Jay+

Yep, OSSubprocess doesn't work on 64 bit VMs at the moment.

Eliot, Mariano has indicated he's waiting on
https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo-vm/pull/142
Do you know of a reason why it shouldn't be merged?

Thanks,
Alistair
