[clean-list] Process starting

It is a really bad news.

No, there is no way, because I have to implement a kind of STUB function
in Clean, which sends its argument data to a port, and receives the result
from another port. You cannot send and receive on the same process, because
that would means a cycle with continuous checking the possibility of sending
or receiving. And this would means a strict evaulation of the result of this
STUB function, because this cycle could end only if all the result is received.
We simple cannot do that.

So what this newProcess do anyway? Won't it start a process on a separate
thread?

Yes, thanks, but my problem is a little bit complicated as my small example shows that.
I have to call a lot of external C functions, and must implement a real sequence, which
cannot be without #! :)

Thank you for your answers,
