I think this is indeed the right fix.
We really shouldn't use the patch while opening our own _output_ files.
Note that clean_old_split_files, which is called just before split_file(),
doesn't use path either.

So the line should indeed be changed to:

  the_file = find_and_load (filename, 0);

Thanks again,
