Uh, yeah...  of course!  Duncan posted code with uncertainty,
and I showed what one must change to make it certain (or less
uncertain, after reading Tim Peters' comment).  How that would
change the original case with the anonymous file in any way
I just can't imagine.  (Clearly I'm missing something, or you
are...)
