 FWIW I think it would be better if Wine locked any executable file it's
running to prevent it from being written to, but I guess this is easier
said than done (I have a Pavlovian conditioning of always assuming that
anything related to Unix locking is horribly difficult), so I would
understand if Wine folks were not really motivated in doing anything about
this, as it shouldn't affect normal users very often.
