Random question -- Is there any way to use overlays

I don't know.
The shell is one of the usual candidates
for having its sticky bit set, but then it would have to keep track of
which users need which overlays... not pleasant.
Hmmm. I can only assume. The info
what overlay is active is part of the
process structure, as it is part of the memory management and handled by
the kernel. So it would be individual for every process. But I may be
completly wrong in that.
