And furthermore, if a user program does open(NULL,..), it of course seems
to be broken, but it MAY do "useful" things in some a.out format, or
where page zero is mapped... So it would be probably incorrect to check
early for zero. It's handled well by the exceptions, and it's useful for
programmers to know about problems in their code, but I can well
imagine how it disturbs "users". :) [Probably to the same amount that the
dreaded "Socket destroy delayed" message, which is now back.. :)]
