Thanks! Applied. Just a quick note on the coding style, though. I try to
keep source code lines at under 80 characters (and tab counting as 8
spaces), so I modified this patch to follow that. In general, I do not
mind doing this type of small edits when applying patches, but it may
speed up the process a bit if the submitted patches follow the same
style.

I haven't seen EBADF myself in here, but the change itself looks
reasonable.
