I think you are using 68K-MINIX, since there is a weak point:

The user program gives an address in his own address space, this must
be converted to the flat space before using the address.
On the ST, this might go since all processes share the same address space
in reality, but you must not write code like that!

Second: I don't know if MM is allowed to copy something outside its own address
space (or if it uses the SYSTASK to perform such actions).
