Workspace location (vote)

[philip at hungerford.irl.cri.nz (Trevor Higgins)]

As valid as any generalisation can be, my 'vote' is that the workspace stay
located seperately from the heap. Setting it  at the opposite end
to the heap with the stack between is a good start. While I could be 
considered paranoid I do not have a lot of faith in using dynamic memory 
allocation (malloc/free) as emperical evidence shows it is a major cause 
of software failure, if a task is going to miscalculate a pointer then 
I want it to be as statistically low as possible to write to kernel data 
structures.
Debugging programs on custom hardware without a MMU is much more 
difficult if the kernel is crashed by a miscreant task.
