Oh, <blush> I see it now. I'm still not convinced it's appropriate to
bail out at that low level, but I haven't had time to study the problem
yet. If any of those checks (that call &warn when they fail) could occur
because of lock contention, then bailing from &warn will cause random,
mysterious failures.
