Speaking of applications with their own heaps, what happens if heap of application A is full, but application B has "heaps" of free space? Doesn't sound like optimal use of a precious resource to me. Because you have to configure the memory partitions of programs for the expected peak usage, you end up wasting memory terribly. That deserves a thread of its own, though. -- PGP key id is 0xD3C7995D. Molybdenum 95! Got your ounce of fission byproduct yet?
