        Well, by now I thought in a dirty way of breaking this limit: just
do many forks and execute n other processes ("overlays"), that will act as
a single program. You can share data with pipes.
        For example, for a text editor you can start two processes. One is
the editor itself, the other handle the text buffer and reading/saving
data. They exchange data via pipe.
