Hi,

I am not seeing the light here...

Proc := [
   [true] whileTrue: [
       c_call_out.
       (Delay forMilliSeconds: 500) wait.
   ].
] fork

I would assume that c_call_out would be called every couple of milliseconds
but it appears that when the delay is over the Process just exits. Why is that
the case? How can I avoid it? How can I achieve something better? (well it
would be nice to avoid the poll all together but that is for later).
