I suppose this is the case, I was thinking the string literals 
were loaded as the program itself is loaded, and this was in a 
location not read-only. Guess I've made some poor 
associations/assumptions.

Aside from that I still think the original issue with the 
statement is not and has not been valid. But if they can be RO in 
Windows it would seem a useless addition to specify Linux.
