Comment (by AGMS):
It happens less often on real hardware. I was using VirtualBox on a Linux
system with background CPU usage at full use by another program (running
at a "nice" low priority).
I found that running about 10 parallel tests (10 Terminal windows open,
stdout redirected to /dev/null) does make it happen faster on real
hardware. Same failure point in relocate_image.
By the way, is program loading single threaded? I can open several
windows to run the test on a 4 core machine, but it maxes out at 1 core
equivalent of CPU usage.
It would also be nice if load_image() returned after you kill a partially
loaded but not yet running dead child program. Right now the parent
remains stuck even after the child is killed and disappears from the
ProcessController thread listing.
