Not just a hero, but an entertainer, a man of genius, who by all accounts I've read, was humble and approachable.
I wish him well in the ever after, and my condolences to his loved ones.
Sorely missed, and fondly remembered, and inspiration to us all.
Why will linux have a problem with this? The structures that require modification are copies of the data on disc, why should that change? Copy these from the non-running programme to private pages, modify the process page table, job done. I doubt windows is any different. Basically the same mechanism in use now, but source the original, non-executing text, from a different place, memory rather than filesystem.
I don't think it's mentioned anywhere that programmes will never need loading or initialising again, of course they will, but once done, the state of that "running" instance persists across power off/on.
