I tried it on my dual core intel mac (older 32 bit one), and the VM (Squeak4.3.1 Beta1U) crashed. So I loaded the OSProcess tests into an up to date trunk image, and running the tests in UnixProcessTestCase crashed the VM. This also happens in the Pharo Dev 1.0 RC2.
Obviously crashing the VM is not acceptable regardless of what the application is doing, so something is badly wrong here.
As far as I can tell, the Cocoa and Carbon VMs do not ship with pre-built plugins necessary for OSProcess. I naively tried David's test with a couple and crashed the VM each time. Mike, did you build your own OSProcess and AIO plugins?
(I tried one of Ian Piumarta's Unix VMs for Darwin, because it came with pre-built plugins, and it didn't crash the VM, but several of the tests in Test-OSProcess failed. I chose not to document it or pursue it further, partly because Mac OS X 10.4 is not supported by recent VMs.)
David: which image and VM did you use?
