Can someone confirm the suggested workaround in the upstream bugreport

Can this be a real fix for this problem? I am not a Python expert, but it seems
there is common confusion about how readline works:
http://www.tablix.org/~avian/blog/archives/2008/08/05/T21_01_42/
even related to handling Unicode characters:
http://www.tablix.org/~avian/blog/archives/2008/08/05/T21_01_42/
All the tracebacks in the duplicates of this bugs show an exception in
the file /var/lib/python-support/python2.5/glipper/History.py line
number 89, which is a symlink to the latter.
80 def load(self):
81 try:
82 file = open(glipper.HISTORY_FILE, "r")
83 except IOError:
84 self.emit('changed', self.history)
85 return # Cannot read history file
86
87 length = file.readline()
88 while length:
89 self.history.append(file.read(int(length)))
90 file.read(1) # This is for \n
91 length = file.readline()
92
93 file.close()
94 self.emit('changed', self.history)
All the trackebacks start this way:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/glipper/glipper", line 53, in applet_factory
glipper.Applet.Applet(applet)
File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/glipper/Applet.py", line 50, in
__init__
get_glipper_history().load()
File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/glipper/History.py", line 89, in load
self.history.append(file.read(int(length)))
and differ only in the single last line, for example on of these:

ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: '\x14\x0c'
