Anywhere something writes, yes. The problem is that resource data was
writeable in Win16, and some (broken) apps depend on that. So on Win32
the resource area is read-only but if an app writes into it, it gets
an exception and the default handler unprotects the resource
area. There is an article somewhere on MSDN about this.
