A couple of problems:

  * Threads, when encountering ANY sort of fault cause the termination of
    the entire program.

  * The death of a process for any abnormal reason is quiet; the parent
    process is not informed

  * It isn't clear that a heavily segmented model is a sensible approach
    for a 386.  Perhaps the Xenix model of DS = SS = ES makes more sense.

It may not be ideal yet, but some simple changes would make it pretty
darned neat.
