Comment 2 for bug 1775371

Kurt,

Thanks for the good bug report and diagnosis.
decode_binary doensn't seem like the right place for this.

Heres a start of a patch to do that.

We'd like to add some tests for this to tests/unittests/test_util.py
I think the easiest way would be to just mock load_file .

If you want to push this along, please put up a merge proposal with a
unit test. If not, we'll get to it but not immediately.

Thanks again.
Scott
