compiler not catching bad exit within routine

live code seems to gratuitously unlock write permission for directories

livecode seems to be gratuitously unlocking directories. I launch live code, and then "chmod -w" the directory of the stack. On quit, it restores write permission! If I use shell (chmod -w someDir), it apparently unlocks it before returning from shell! I'm trying to put in a failsafe that preve
