Has anyone had experience using the Windows MEM_WRITE_WATCH
flag to VirtualAlloc? It could be very useful for the
garbage collector since it keeps track of when a page
has been written to.
Also, is there an equivalent API on linux? I couldn't
find one.

That does sound like just the ticket. I don't remember seeing it before.
