Thanks, I stand corrected. It isn't entirely consistent, hence the confusion.

I initially assumed it was not protected at all, and Luiz corrected
me.  But if I dofile something that has a run-time error, it's
definitely not a protected call either.

Moral of story: pcall(dofile,filename) to be really sure ....
