Please fix compiler warnings, gcc is not issueing them just for fun.
You've been giving an uninitialized value as an address to l4_ipc_call,
so no wonder strange things happen.

I just aggregated the l4_fpage to the one line, more compact.

one more things, after task creation succeed, i'm a bit curious, why it doesn't run the new task, it runs the first thread n pager only.
