Ah yes, you mean, I take it, that the page fault handler would look at the 
user's program and emulate the faulting store instruction and return to 
the instruction after it.  Very clever.

And as long as we're going down that path, we should also consider 
changing exec() so instead of branching into the program, it just 
interprets it!
