From: William Roberts <william.c.roberts@xxxxxxxxx>
patch 5e15a52aaa cleans up the process_file() routine,
but introduced a bug. If the binary file cannot be
opened, always attempt to fall back to the textual file,
this was not occurring.
The logic should be:
1. Open the newest file between base path + suffix and
base_path + suffix + ".bin"
2. If anything fails, attempt to load the oldest file.
The result, with a concrete example, would be:
If file_contexts is the newest file, and it cannot be
processed, the code will fall back to file_contexts.bin
and vice versa.
