Wow! That's an excellent catch, thank you! I did test the originally submitted patch, and got no oops, bug, panic, etc (I usually have panic_on_oops set to 1 when first testing new code). I guess I got very lucky, somehow. I'll change this, and make sure to retest. I will also try to enhance the python case attached to the bug to include a filepointer as well, and will repost a v3 when I have done this.
