This reminds me, that I wanted to reply to Nick's
comments from before: I once worked on a Prime 50
Series platform (Primos) that was segmented. The
architecture offered some advantages, but suffered
from others. I don't seem to recall the problems
that we ran into, but IIRC, one of them was that
there was a limit on the segment size that got in
the way (though I might be confusing this with
the WinTel past). I did however, like the way that
rings and dynamic linking worked (snapping the
links).
