  Hmm, yes I didn't spot the call that uses 3 args, I guess a simple way to
  fix that would be to change the call that uses 3 args to use 4, by just
  putting a dummy argument as the 4th. Maybe not the nicest fix, but I can't
  really see an alternative that doesn't involve rewriting large chunks of
  the code.
  
Unfortunately, that might not work either, since the ->scan field might
point at fscanf.  (I tried this and got crashes...)

I'll try your initial solution to see if it works in practice.
