We ask to write 41 bytes and make sure that the return value is at least 41. This is the same "dangerous" pattern that was fixed in the prior commit (wherein a negative return value is promoted to unsigned), though it is not dangerous here because our "41" is a constant, not an unsigned variable. But we should convert it anyway to avoid modeling a dangerous construct.
