The bytecodes limit access to these segments, including their ranges. To the program, there is simply no "outside the sandbox" (arguably apart from the files). Even if you can write to a segment, that doesn't mean you can write to all areas in a segment - some areas may be R/O or can only be accessed by certain bytecode instructions (like the stacks).

That sounds a bit like the Java VM.  What are the similarities/differences?

What was your motivation to go with a VM architecture?
