Cool... you'll have to adjust the SLAB page pointers to be offsets rather
than pointers, but that should be a trivial modification.

Sure... I have been interested in persistent operating environments ever
since running a MOO-based MUD back in '92-'93.  I have had ideas of
porting MOO to use LPSM; I also have some design ideas for a more advanced
general-purpose persistent operating environment; MOO is actually
surprisingly general-purpose, but there are some quirks centered around
the assumption that it is a MUD server which are fairly complex to work
around.
