Warnings warn you of when your code may behave differently on other OS's 
as well. I'm not saying that is true in this case -- it makes sense not 
to call another function there if we don't have to -- but I didn't think 
it was "nonsensical".

Oh, and if your code was so damn good, TF, it wouldn't have crashed 
using a straight-up clean compile on this OS so step-off.
