thanks for the link, interesting read... =)

I really like the idea and the stability that could actually be achieved by
doing
this. Much like a win2k/winxp system instead of a win9x. =)
Allthough I would say that keeping to the way windows handles processes
would be a good way for purels ta handle modules, meaning that you got
information about which module that crashed and then that module would
not be restarted, but you would be informed on how to restart it, or how
to recycle so that it gets reloaded.
