OK, so this isn't really a functional bug AFAIU but the compiler will
wrongly complain we are accessing handle->f_handle beyond claimed array
size (because handle->handle_bytes == 0 at that point). Am I right? If
that's the case, please add a short comment explaining this (because it
looks odd we set handle->handle_bytes and then reset it a few lines later).
With the comment feel free to add:
