I realize you may see it as a slippery slope, but I haven't heard anything else reported yet, and git has already been ported quite a bit. But since C has a flat namespace, this will always be a problem. Picking a name like warn(3) was probably dumb on bsd's part, but it *is* a generic call like perror(3). -- Randal L.
