i think this is an artifact of setting up heavily-used systems
combining venti, fossil, auth and cpu server.

i think you may be blaming
plan 9 when in fact there's just not enough hardware
to go around.  

sure crashing is antisocial.  the alternative is to add very
large amounts of code to the kernel.  but even linux doesn't
solve this problem.  my 256mb linux machine with only me
on it, locks solid due to oom conditions more often than the
entire coraid plan 9 system with 20 users.
