(fwd) Re: Problem with 0.9.3

After looking at a diff between 0.9.2 and 0.9.3, I /think/ I spotted the
bug causing this.  In the header verification section, 0.9.2 checks the
type of the header object to ensure it is a list of lists, 0.9.3 does
not.  I've created the atached patch against the base 0.9.3 tree to
re-add this functionality; let me know if it works the way it should...
