Does anyone know about object oriented database technology?  Surely
there must be some free libraries that could be wired up to CLOS
without too much pain.  Does this approach work very well, or do the
modern commercial implemenations need a proprietary system tightly
integrated with the Lisp implementation?

Why not hook up a checkpointing system into the thread scheduler?  Did
any of the Lisp machines do this?  I can imagine how checkpointing might fit
with Mach's external pagers...
