Doesn't thay stall the image anyway? IIRC it makes a full GC with blocks.

If you have OSProcess you can fork the image (search the mailinglist,
Avi once asked about this). I don't know if this now works on Mac OS.
Also pay attention that if you have two forked images at the same
time, that they don't write into the same image file (if you want to
use it for Pier). Otherwise you might end up with a corrupted image
file.
