One possibility would be to keep a 'virtual' copy of page 0 somewhere else.
Then when your program references 0-0x1fff, you catch the fault, disassemble the
offending instruction, and emulate it using your virtual copy of page 0.

No, I don't have something that does this.  Yes, I know it is a horrible
kludge.  If someone has one of these already (or a better solution), I'd
like to know as well.
