I'm relieved it's not just me, but sad that it's not just me
experiencing this. So my understanding is that changes are stored by
accessing SourceFiles at: 2. If you want a readonly copy of sources or
changes, you use CurrentReadOnlySourceFiles at: 2. I suppose the first
step is verifying that nothing referencing these _directly_ does
things like closing files (I'd be tempted to look at CROSF first.)
