 Rather than attempt to figure out what the proper fix to this might be,
 I attempted to simply code around it for now... without success, I think
 because the real error is happening after that particular warning.
 
 I'm not on that system today, but you can go back to the initial bug
 report to see what I mean.  I beleive the message is "asprintf failed:
 Error 0", and when I look to see where that message comes from, it
 appears xasprintf is failing to print whatever the real error is
 supposed to be.
