Well, if this memory both in the message, and being pointed to by the message
was declared MF_PUBLIC as it should have been, then there wouldn't be
a problem.  MF_PUBLIC memory could all be allocated out of a common pool,
that all amiga tasks see.  This is also a good reason to go ahead and
implement VM under AmigaDOS; MF_PUBLIC has always been specified as the way
to get shared memory in the RKMs.

P.S. Will someone (anyone) please send me mail if they see this message.
     I am not convinced that our news reader knows how to post properly.
     Thanks in Advance (TiA)
