Yes, I'm stumped!

I guess it's possible that it would be an OS library issue, although I
would not have expected that given that you are building from source.

I can't really test this myself right now (my linux is too old to run Ian's
3.2-6 binary, and I don't seem to have the right stuff in my image to
generate code that matches the 3.2-6 platforms source, and ... hey, it's
December 22 and I have not done my Christmas shopping yet ;-)

So is anyone else seeing problems like this? OSProcess test cases crashing
the 3.2-6 Linux VM?
