Hmm.. thinking about this, the problem really is the general way 
most architectures work. They're just not designed for security. Eg, 
if stack frames were protectable such that you could only write to 
the current frame, you'd eliminate stack overflows. If you had 
hardware support for bounded arrays, you'd eliminate more attacks. 
Etc.
