I tried this a few months ago on my 68010 Amiga 1000.  It crashed consistanly.
At first it was the UserState() bug (I didn't know about it at the time), but
even using my own stuff to get into and out of supervisor it died hard.

Using Gomf to watch low-memory, showed that these vectors are getting played
with, and the VBR is being ignored (by the OS not the CPU of course.

Along with the execption table, it would be nice if Exec would get ALL of
ExecBase out of CHIP ram.
