Yep, OSSubprocess doesn't work on 64 bit VMs at the moment.

Eliot, Mariano has indicated he's waiting on
https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo-vm/pull/142
Do you know of a reason why it shouldn't be merged?

Well, the changes to FilePlugin.class belong in VMMaker.oscog.�� And��cfileRecordSize��doesn't make sense , since all pointers are of the same size in C:

cfileRecordSize
+ "Return the size of a stdio FILE* handle"
+ <option: #PharoVM>
+ <static: false>
+ ^self sizeof: #'FILE*'

I would simple use (self sizeof: #'void *') or (self sizeof: #'FILE *').

Other than that I can't see any problems.

Thanks,
Alistair
