Hi again,

so Process>>#queueInterrupt: will leave the process suspended if it was
suspended during the interrupt. In my case I end with semaphore wait and no
other link is in the list. What will be the sequence of adding my own
queueInterrupt which will resume the process at the end? E.g. what happens if
we are on a socket?


                                [semaphore isNil
                                    ifTrue: [[self evaluate: aBlock
ifNotTerminated: [self suspend]]]
                                    ifFalse: [[self evaluate: aBlock
ifNotTerminated: [semaphore wait]]]].
