If a program has a bug and tries to use a null pointer, how can you
setup the PowerPC (555) to ensure that the program will crash.  The
exception vector table shows 0x0 to 0x0FF as RESERVED (for future
use).

PS: I know the software should use 'asserts' to test for null
pointers.

Any advice appreciated. Thanks.
