Posted in article by 66.91.248.110: So what now with this exokernel separation of protection from management? How about runaway processes/apps?

The kernel doesn't decide how the allocated resources are used. It only allocates them and guarantees the integrity of the allocation. Runaway process, as noted in the article, are penalized in the future or aborted. Gazpacho 08:31, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
So did you try to find out how it handles it before commenting? There are plenty of papers if you follow the Papers link on the MIT Exokernel page. In any case, the statement is correct, see http://pdos.csail.mit.edu/exo/exo-slides/sld005.htm

[edit] Graphical overview

The graphical overview should show the libraries inside the applications because they use the same address space.
