[Vm-dev] OSProcess fork issue with Debian built VM

[Nicolas Cellier]

Hi Holger,
thanks for reminding this.
So we must regenerate source from
*VMConstruction-Plugins-OSProcessPlugin.oscog-dtl.56*
I just did that for nice.55 (for a 2nd time), a pity that I missed the more
recent one...
It's better to send such message to vm-dev as you did, I thnk audience is
broader for VM concerns than pharo-dev
