Resending, I accidentally dropped the list.

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.

Thanks,
-Aaron
