eh, sorry,
the point I was trying to make is that Windows really does contain APIs
which let you do really bad things to the OS -- so famously bad that...
executives will say anything to keep from exposing them.
walking another process's memory heap smacks of
1. reverse engineering
2. developing a buffer-overflow attack
or
3. trying to patch a memory-leak which is better done using a debugger
like Purify http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purify
That's the point I meant to make.
