There's a program called "enforcer", which utilises an mmu if you have one. I
don't have an MMU, so I don't know a great deal about its operation. I
believe that it doesn't just extinguish processes as in unix (it probably will
let you though), it detects read and write hits outside a processes segment,
etc.
