JW> The only question I have, is :"What is the purpose of .data?,
Is suppose Linux has to know what's data and what's code for its memory-
management! Code doesn't have to be swapped out, as it can be reread from the
executable. I suppose you can also declare a const-section. Also code and
const-sections could be shared between multiple instances of your program,
whereas data-sections need their own copy! (which AAMOF under Linux are only
created once written too)
