        I think that's a relatively new innovation -- i.e. since
the ability to setup read-only code segments was implemented,
though FWIW, you are right.

        I think it's a text editor thing --
        for Example, on windows, I can't write to a running
bash-script (says it is read-only for the duration of execution.
Though I can on linux.

        I suppose if bash were to mmap the script file and mark
it as "executable", it would get the same read-only protection as
binaries..??
