I vaguely remembered hacking the flags on something, took a guess it was
my old version of Texel.

bash-2.05a# flags -P /d/texel.16/texel.app -v
Current flags: 0x00000037.
  Fastload flag is set (heap doesn't get cleared).
  Altload flag is set (load into alternate RAM).
  Altalloc flag is set (allocate memory from alternate RAM).
  Program's memory is readable.

bash-2.05a# flags -P /d/texel/texel_e.app -v
Current flags: 0x00000007.
  Fastload flag is set (heap doesn't get cleared).
  Altload flag is set (load into alternate RAM).
  Altalloc flag is set (allocate memory from alternate RAM).
  Program's memory is fully protected.

bash-2.05a# flags -R /d/texel/texel_e.app
Current flags: 0x00000037 (were 0x00000007).

bash-2.05a# flags -P /d/texel.16/texel.app -v
Current flags: 0x00000037.
  Fastload flag is set (heap doesn't get cleared).
  Altload flag is set (load into alternate RAM).
  Altalloc flag is set (allocate memory from alternate RAM).
  Program's memory is readable.

It seems to have fixed Texel. Thanks.
