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.
