In Frontier when CREATE fails to deploy the code because of the deployment cost the creation behaves as it has been successful although the created account has empty code.
Fix the CREATE instruction by returning the address of the created account instead of the null address.
The gas refund is also applied as in the case of successful code deployment. Geth agrees with this but this situation probably never happened on Mainnet.
