Subject: [PATCH] Bug #1704156: Support for unicode strings as input filenames
 is neither documented nor intended but works in Python 2.4 under certain
 conditions. This stopped working in 2.5 because struct.pack is used. This
 small patch restores the old behaviour. A more solid solution is planned for
 2.6.
