It doesn't strike me as a bit odd.  Even if you do replace the network
stack, you're still using the rest of the OS for things like memory
management, etc.  The only way to avoid worrying about problems with the
rest of the OS is to write your own.

I wonder what they are doing - I've moved files in the 1GB range around on
NT a number of times - I used to have a database that big that got copied
every night so it could be backed up.  I never had any problems.
