Aah, Guy was talking about systems where the entire data space is one
segment.  I thought he meant PDP-11 or Gould-like systems.

By the way, folks who think that demand paging is always better than
partial swapping should implement a demand paging UNIX on a PDP-11/70
and measure its typical performance.  (Yes, this is possible.)
