I have a few dozen small programs that I've tacked a GPL notice onto
just in case, yet that have never ventured off of my hard disk
because they are one half step above being absolutely broken, and

No, it's not: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#GPLRequireSourcePostedPublic
This faq should pretty much answer the question brought up in this thread.

public in some way, the GPL requires you to make the modified source
code available to the program's users, under the GPL." ;-)
But he does not release it. He wrote the software, and he keeps it for himself on his harddisk. (He does not even need to put a comment in like /* This stuff is GLP'd */, since nobody gets the program)
