Dennis Ritchie has pointed out to me that there are bugs in both
System V and 4.2BSD that make my statement about write-protected
text untrue.  His words were that the bugs are "pretty ghastly".
That was the intent of the code, but I guess life isn't what it's
made out to be.

I'll try to find out what the bugs are and post them, too.
