yes. to implement this idea, one may need to change the set of system calls. or maybe like file operations, not all system calls are valid in all contexts. i never ment to imply this was more than a half-baked idea, for a system that's no longer plan 9. (if i could see how things worked, i'd implement a toy system.) i think the proliferation of system calls in nemo's kernels with specialised cores might have been a related problem. - erik
