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.
