Understood, but it would work the same way as this version of the patch:
if we end up calling read_file with dir_handle == NULL, then read_file
would do:

  blexit(L"Error: No access to the filesystem");

If we don't end up calling read_file, then everything works even if
dir_handle == NULL. Right?

Yeah, that doesn't seem ideal.
