Try running it in your own image to see what passes. Many of the tests
will fail on a Cog VM, primarily because of limitations of #forkSqueak
on Cog (forkSqueak is heavily used for testing interprocess things), but
also because of one or two issues in the plugin. These are actual failures,
so don't expect the tests to pass. That does not mean you cannot use
OSProcess on Cog, it just means that the full test suite will not pass.

The Aio tests should pass on Cog if the plugin is present.
