That is a completely different thing. zView is killed because of a bug
in zView. Allowing zView to continue compromises the stability of your
system. The memory protection does exactly what it's supposed to do.

Memory violation -> process is killed. Period. Leaving this decision to
the user is dangerous, because the user won't know if the memory
violation is a result of a bug or because of poor implementation of a
message protocol.

Maybe the solution is to implement the AV-server in XaAES itself.
