Smith decides that every thread in his processes ought to have its own protected stack – all other
regions in a process would be fully shared. Does this make sense?

What will be an ideal response?

If every thread has its own protected stack, then each must have its own address space. Smith’s idea is better
described as a set of single-threaded processes, most of whose regions are shared. The advantage of sharing
an address space has thus been lost.
