Even in a non-stable provided environment, sandboxing code can
prevent crashing.  I've already done that :).  Everything outside of
the very very core stuff runs in a sandboxed environment under a
highly stress- tested core kernel.  The goal isnt so much to prevent
crashes (its more of a side-effect than a goal), its to allow
scalability.  I thank you all for your suggestions, however, since I
started this thread I've done a lot more thinking and redesign so I
think I have the solution (and in case I don't, I have about 3 more
to think about) to my problem.

Again, thanks for all of your support!

Mike
