Be careful. Coding to mailing list discussions results in Linux.
FWIW, the discussion here has made more sense than any and all
arguments/conversations I've had with UNIX vendors over the last
decade-and-a-half.
And I'm talking about both malloc and spawn.
The concept of assembling processes in user space is intriguing, and
I'd like to hear more from the people who have thought/played with
the idea.
I'm convinced there is no solution to brk; it's an untenable
implementation (although it made perfect sense at the time). As long
as our programming languages insist on direct memory pointers I don't
see a way out. But so far all the alternatives just lead to madness ...
