Exactly what happened to me!! 6 times is total. It seems to be
something to do with setting it run a file as "WB" instead of CLI.
The file size gets set to 0, which implies a "write" has been
attempted to the executable.
I suppose that setting the flags for executables to R--- instead of
RWED might help, but Octy should _not_ be trying to kill our nice
files.
Not nice!
