This patch fixes an indentation error in main.py. The effect of this bug is that block-attach does not check labels if the ACM is active. This bug slipped in with change set 11572_:_ ad22c711ccb7 <http://xenbits.xensource.com/xen-unstable.hg?cs=ad22c711ccb7>.

This patch is essential and should get into 3.0.3. I tested the patch with security off and on.

Thanks
Reiner
P.S. We are currently enhancing xm-test to include security tests so that we can detect simple things like this faster.

Applied. Thanks. An xm-test would be very helpful indeed in order to pick up bugs like these.

Cheers,

Alastair
