(note: this could be due merely to my own 'newbie' user ignorance.) 

Problem: 
(run ("/bin/ls -l /proc/curproc/file")) appears to fail on FreeBSD with
/proc being the mount point for the procfs filesystem.  ('curproc' is a
'link' to the current process number and 'file' is the current load
image.)  The process number that is printed was completely wrong ... and
failed. 

Expected: 
The size of /proc/curproc/file should have been displayed. 

Caveat: 
I don't know whether this is a problem with scsh, the scshvm, procfs, or
some combination.  Let me know what you think and I'll try to follow up
with the appropriate people.
