Subject:   Virtual memory question:  map first page?

I noticed that in imgact_aout.c the text segment gets mapped starting at
linear address 4096.

Is it possible to map the first page of linear memory?  What I would like
to be able to do is set up a process in which linear addresses starting
at 0 are mapped.

When I modified imgact_aout.c to map the first linear page of memory as
an experiment, and then ran a specially cooked executable to exercise that
code, the machine immediately hung.

Is there something special on the first linear page of a user process?

Thanks,
