Probably not until they run into the same situation that forced Berkeley
to do something about it:  a machine which *cannot* support a readable
location 0.  (Let there be no illusions that Berkeley fixed *NULL problems
out of nobility or purity of heart; they fixed them because they had no
choice if they wanted their code to run on the first Suns.)
