You're right.  I mindlessly replied without changing the subject...

Just thought I'd pipe in about the file locking thing.  I've been using
ConText for editing my programs (with hotkey/one-button execution).  When 
I'm debugging I'll run the program from the editor, read the run-time error
without pressing Enter to continue, fix the error and save the file.  But
sometimes the file saves just fine (even with the previous instance still 
waiting for my 'Enter'), and other times it refuses to save the file 
(presumably locked by the interpreter) until I close the previously-errored 
session.

I'd say it's about 50/50 whether I can save it while the errored interpreter 
was waiting for my key press to end.

I have no idea if this is related to Kat's issues but thought it might be
relevant enough to mention.  Might even be a ConText issue...
