Thanks for the patch.

I've checked in a slightly different version which should have the same
effect.

I appreciate the time you spent tracking this down and researching the
correct method for fixing this.  I used roughly the same technique as
you but moved it to only affect the opening of disk files.  Hopefully,
it will fix your problem.

Btw, for future reference, your patch was reversed.  It should have been
diff -u foo.orig foo, i.e. the original file goes first.

Thanks again for tracking this down.
