As far as understand it, oM does a little more. It doesn't just
suspend a process but rather splits it in two parts: 1) the deputy which
remains at the local node and 2) the rest of the process which is sent
away. So the problem is that the deputy isn't preserved in the image
but is needed for the system calls.

Hope this helps
