Some errata for the BDS C version 1.50a explains how to reconfigure
the runtime to use a different RST address.  In general, it is unsafe
to use the RST locations unless your software can be reconfigured as
well.  The Z80 can arrange for hardware interrupt vectors to be placed
elsewhere in memory, but (a) not everyone has a Z80, (b) not everyone
uses the extended scheme, and (c) that still doesn't help when using
software that may already occupy the RST vectors.
