Before Chris N provides the answer, I'll provide my best guess (ready to be
shot down...again):
1. Statement: The compiled scripts are clearly different (proof:
AppleScript decompiles them to the original, different source code forms).
2. Contention: the actual executable stuff in the compiled scripts is the
same...it is only the decompiling hints that differ.
