Oops.  If you're going to add a line to a patch, you need to bump up the
line count for that section, in this case from 36 to 37.  You may also
want to remove the now inappropriate sentence...

   I removed the "return TRUE;"
   after the visited.Add() call, which would have caused a memory leak as it
   didn't delete the local_filename at that point.

This was a poorly thought out last minute change.  I keep forgetting that
when you add a string to a Dictionary, you can't delete it afterward.  Of
course there was no memory leak there before, and my change broke the code.
Sorry about that.
