Yes and yes. I have a fix (a fix to Process>>#terminate that also allows a simpler version of Semaphore>>#critical:) that I shall commit to inbox very soon. Am in the middle of composing a full description of the problem and solution, but it’s a long post and has taken longer than I had assumed, hence this quick response. Bert, Levente, Clément, Marcus, heads up, I would like (at least) you all to read and review the fixes when I commit.
