You're right: the interpreter does check the length, as well as the actual
structure of the
bound code.  An example: try loading up a bound executable into a hex editor and
change a
value or two.  You get the "One moment please..." message.

So an icon tacked onto the end of the exe would render any program useless. 
*unless* you
could figure out a way to fool the value checker. Which I'm sure is against the
license =)
