If you're running that at the REPL (the st> prompt) and returning to the REPL, 
it won't work because the VM is not running while the REPL is waiting for input.

If you try "Processor activeProcess suspend" at the REPL you will return 
control to the process scheduler and your process should get run.

The reason gst-remote and visualgst should also work is that they're not 
sitting with the REPL waiting for input either.
