I'm afraid I bikeshedded dme's original patch for this into oblivion (id:"1324503532-5799-1-git-send-email-dme@dme.org") and we still have these warnings on the buildbot. Tomi convinced me that dme was right and I was wrong, so I'm bringing dme's patch back. The first patch actually fixes the warning, since the code in show was wantonly ignoring errors that could have correctness implications. This write didn't get much attention in the original thread. The second is a rework of dme's patch to silence the warning for the remaining writes. I cleaned up the formatting, simplified the macro magic a little, and added a comment justifying its use.
