Rolf, I have learned that the open process command is not yet 
implemented correctly on OS X. This is alluded to in the documentation 
in 2.0 rc1, but it's very unclear.

"""
On OS X systems, you can use the open process command to start up an 
application, but not a Unix process. To work with a Unix process, use 
the shell function instead.
"""
Support for using the open process command on OS X systems was added in 
version 2.0.
