Lol.
Just to mention that we have been having problems (VM crashes/lockups) with
OSProcess,
using FFI to callout to libc for executing shell command has seemed to help
this.
Looked like memory corruption (especially targetting Delay objects, but
likely they were on the stack at the time...).
Occurs on all VMs, though more apprent with Cog.
FFI saves the day!

this lib is a C++.. interfacing with C++ is troublesome.
Usually this is done by creating a standard C library with C-
functions wrapping around
C++ calls. Then as usual.
OK. I've tried FFI with this and I got mad. Do you know a fun C library to
start working with ?
Yeah.. i have one.. called OpenGL :)
See

But for exercise, i think standard C library is just fine.
There's a lot of functionality which might be handy and can be exposed via
FFI.
