Hence my question regarding the number of rings used by Multics.  Just
because there's multiple contexts doesn't mean that there's _enough_ of
them.

Anyone got an DG Eagle (MV) family machine lying around?  It has eight
honest-to-goodness rings and hardware ring call support.  Only 32 bits,
though...
