I don't know anything about whether/when shared libraries might appear
in a Sun product, but there are a few interesting papers scheduled for
summer Usenix:

	Virtual Memory Architecture in SunOS
	Rob Gingell, Joe Moran, and Bill Shannon, Sun Microsystems

	Shared Libraries in SunOS
	Rob Gingell, Meng Lee, Xuong Dang, and Mary Weeks, Sun Microsystems

Sun has sold a LOT of 4MB Sun-3/50's that can't be upgraded with more
memory, so they can't just tell you to buy more memory if the 4.N and 5.N
software releases continue the balloon tradition.  Probably shared libraries
is part of what will put more tomatoes in that same itty bitty can.
