Seems to work here -- at least, it solves the problem Bryan found and
doesn't cause any others AFAICS.

I did run into an unrelated issue while poking around with the patch,
after defining a new procedure `process-wait` for testing -- should
`process` use a "##sys" variant of `process-wait` in its definition? I
don't quite grok what the guarantees are w.r.t. user shadowing &
internal procedures in the units, but I think there are a few cases in
posix where an internal variant could (should?) be used.

Either way, the attached patch makes this specific change to `process`
since it bit me.
