How many tasks can be started?

Sorry, I was wrong. The first page fault does indeed works well.
However, I get a read only page fault at address 0x0000000 after the
25th to 30th page fault (depending on the program that was started). But
I only get this page fault if the task number is above 255. I debuged
both versions (with task number below 255 and above 255) in parallel and
compared the mapped pages but couldn't find any differences. The problem
can be reproduced under Qemu with the iso-image I recently added to the
SLOX server (deadlock.iso).
