The original is probably better, especially since the patched version
doesn't seem to be quicker. The length is only needed for that
fwrite() call, anyway; it seems best to keep single-purpose values
out of a heavily-used data structure.
Patch withdrawn! I'm sorry if it was a waste of time. I appreciate
your opinions on this.
