Ah, you're right. The Squeak VM gets the file size via stat and does not just read the contents from the file. So for squeak the file looks just empty.<br>That's a shame because /proc/self/environ would be an easy way to access the environment variables from within the image without any need to add a specific primitive to the VM or use FFI.<br>

Does anybody know why the linux vm can't read files from the /proc<br>
filesystem? The VM is able to open the files but the size is 0!? A<br>
simple less or cat on these files just works fine ...<br>

Is it just the sizes that are zero, or does actually reading from them fail too? A stat() (or for that matter an ls -l) will return a zero size, but a read() in C will return data.<br>
