Fixing this would require special memory allocation for qvms in which the first
page of memory is reserved. This can cause issues because page size varies
between architectures and there is no portable API to do per-page memory
allocation which guarantee that an unused page will cause a segfault.
On the other hand I agree that qvms _should_ crash when dereferencing NULL
since many people don't test their mods with dll/so.
