I don't see why this is a bad solution. I mean, ideally, the OS should be
able to recover from anytihng an application does, but without privelaged
instructions and the like, you really can't do that on the z80. And
afterall, OSes impose this sort of limitation all the time. For example,
Windows tells programmers not to write to memory outside of their programs.
It's up to them to comply, and if they don't, well, their program crashes.
Same thing with this.
Stupid like a fox!
