Some of the arm platforms were also an issue in the past, though
possibly they've all been modernised by now.  Don't know about other
older architectures.

Yes, the question was specifically about the assumption that 0 is
invalid.  The status of 0 is kind of a mess, people keep assuming that
it isn't valid and it just depends if users of platforms which try to
use 0 trip up over it.  Sometimes people work on trying to eliminate
uses of 0 but it tends to get you into older code nobody wants to touch.

Which includes the 0 as valid thing...
