Comment (by yawning):

 Oh hey, I was right.

 Regarding the patch:
  * I'm not sure if checking that the URI scheme is file is the correct
 long term fix (eg: #20337), but that bridge can be burnt when someone gets
 there.
  * Should this apply to OSX as well?  I do not know how OSX's process
 sandboxing stuff works, or what options it has for limiting what a process
 can do.
