    What about non-MP systems ??


What about them. Then the malfunctioning program would rewrite not its own data but someone else's instead. I hardly see this as disadvantage on a *non*-MP system :)

Currently it only destroys it's own (well, most, if not all of the time).

Destroying someone else's seems counter-productive.

Even on MP systems, you still die from MP as you would trouncing over your bss.
