Oh yes, behaviour tends to err on the side of safety, assuming that the
common case is people just firing up ephemeral applications (ok, games)
and so avoids overwriting files, however safe I believe my code to be.

The -disk-write-back command line option (or put "disk-write-back"
in your xroar.conf) makes updating disk image files the default.

Note even then it'll rename the existing file to filename.bak before it
writes the new version!
