And arguably the fact that read-only memory could be used shouldn't make a 
difference, because even in read-write memory you could piss off (or make 
confused) another piece of the programme by modifying something that 
is not to be modified, and in some sense this is worst than just a crash 
(because it's not nearly as obvious), which is the reason why the memory 
was set to read-only in the first place.
