I checked the changeset and found that you're forking the process at 
priority 50 (#userInterruptPriority). AFAIK the process running the 
startup code has priority 40, so the startup process will be suspended 
while the forked process is running.

I think #findBinary:ifNone: is useful, because it can be used just like
#detect:ifNone:.

I also checked the MessageTally changeset (0431) and found that 
MessageTally won't work in Cuis running on Cog, because some VM parameters 
can be nil. See MessageTally >> #spyEvery:on: and friends.
