Hi Max,

I can't answer your question directly, but just wondering why you are using
the itimer VM when the are known issues with external calls, and not the
heartbeat VM?

Because of the root user issue, and also because I don't care about that much at the moment. I'm still experimenting and for those experiments it doesn't matter which VM I use. Thirdly, the itimer VM is the one I get when I use 'curl get.pharo.org/60+vmLatest | bash', which is convenient to get the latest VM, and to minimise differences between the VM's we built the same one. I will definitely consider using the threaded VM for production.


P.S. I would love to see OSProcess working in 32 bit mode.

Well, it does work already, just not when we build the VM ourselves :/

Interesting, I had the impression that for Pharo 6 OSProcess didn't work in 32bits, only 64, but I'm also building my own VM.  I'm away from my PC, but I'll try and take a look.

Thanks, 
Alistair
