Actually, it would be *very* nice if we didn't need to worry as much about
system crashes as we do.  But what are we running here?  We don't have a
hundred users online at once who'd be mortified when the machine went down;
This is a single-user machine.  For its price range, it's hard to justify
the memory protection... Not to say that it shouldn't be an option...
