Actually, what some memory management might provide is the ability
to remove the faulting process completely. Freeing file handles, locks
memory, libraries, etc (see ARP people for more resources to track).
An article about CAOS, the original planned DOS, Carl S. envisioned
packages that processes were encapsulated, and could be "cut out"
of memory without affecting anything else! Waht a neat idea :-)
