The paper I am thinking of (gee, I wish I could remember any other details
about it...) was *very* detailed and specific, and was hardware-specific
to either the PDP-11 or VAX. It would not at all be applicable to Linux
or any kind of modern OS.
I am wondering if it is something in the Leffler et al book, I'll have to
go back and review that. I'll have to find my copy of it first...
