Our arbitrary 2 (or 3 or 3.25) gig limitations on applications
have bugged some people.  More of a pain has been our crappy
paging performance.

I wouldn't mind seeing a 64bit implementation.  I'ld be happier
seeing better 64 bit support in the current compiler.  vlong
kind of sucks at the moment.  Sape and I need it so we'll
probably work on it.  I really don't need a 64 bit kernel
or big address space at the moment so I'm less sanguine
about that.  However, if forsyth gets sufficiently excited
to work on the compiler, I'll probably buy a machine
and work on the OS.  It isn't exactly at the top of my
priority list though.
