Sorry for the delay in replying; I was out of town last week.

Version 0.1.0 is quite old, and contains a large number of bugs.
(In fact, I'd say that it is extremely broken, and I don't recall why
I even released it in the Files section.)  I'd suggest checking the
latest sources out from CVS; the web page explains how to do this.
If you have trouble with CVS, I'd be happy to send you a tarball
of the latest sources.

In general, user processes should work, although they don't do much at
the moment due to the lack of any useful system calls.
