In this case, it is an understandable mistake. The SqueakSource page for
OSProcess does not explain what to download, and does not provide a link
back to the original OSProcess home page at https://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/708,
so someone looking at it would see the ConfigurationOfOSProcess entry and
quite reasonably think that they should use it.

I'll fix that.
