   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 :-)
