-50 means "bad argument".

Apple's docs say

 struct ProcessSerialNumber {
   unsigned long highLongOfPSN;
   unsigned long lowLongOfPSN;
 };

but "MacTypes.h" says

 struct ProcessSerialNumber {
   UInt32              highLongOfPSN;
   UInt32              lowLongOfPSN;
 };

and those aren't the same on a 64-bit system. Maybe the docs that I
found are too old or are only meant to apply to 32-bit systems.

Can you remind me whether you're using a 32-bit or 64-bit build?

When I try the 64-bit build, then it fails in the way you describe
until I fix the `_ProcessSerialNumber' declaration:

 (define-cstruct _ProcessSerialNumber
   ([highLongOfPSN _uint32]
    [lowLongOfPSN _uint32]))
