  What distribution and kernel version?

  If you're running an older distribution using the 2.4 kernel, it may
be that the "bad RAM patch" will be useful to you after all.

  I suspect that is unlikely to accomplish anything useful.  Every
userland process has its own stack.  By the time your program gets
around to running, several other userland processes will have started
and possibly exited (any initrd programs, init, various initscripts).
And the kernel itself has its own stack.  If anything in particular is
using the page at address 0, I would expect it to be the kernel.
