> Running chirp .app bundles from ~/Downloads was observed to fail on

Sweet, thanks! However, is there any reason to just not modify it ever?
I'm not sure what I was thinking when I wrote that. It might've been
part of some debugging or something.

Anyway, I applied this because it's better, but we might consider
removing the modification bit altogether.
