Oops?  When you run a function that writes data to a file this is
supposed just to do what you tell it - write data to a file.  There is
no difference between behaviour with or without this patch - in both
cases the data will be writen to that file.

The existing code does not use any waning either - and I have to admit
that I consider all these "Do you really want..." interactions a major
PITA. 

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
