	I've seen the funnier :-) case: the disk cache routine in the
	kernel of IDOS (Hungarian operating system for ES-1010, a clone
	of Mitra, France) was located in swappable overlay segment :-)
	It was moving from and to disk each time a user program performs
	disk i/o (when the machine was overloaded) :-)

	(It is a joke!)

PS      Concerning RIPXXX I've read about both Bach and Beethoven in
	Steven Levy's and Yourdone's books.

	3443 == 1827    :-)
