Here is something curious: If I first create a new listener with the  
New Listener menu item, evaluating the process-run-function in either  
listener does NOT lead to a crash. However, if I create a new  
listener then close it, evaluating process-run-function in the  
remaining listener leads to a crash. All assuming a freshly started  
vanilla RMCL, in my case on a G4/OSX 10.4.11. Is this a common  
experience or unique for my setup?
