You are exactly correct.  I changed my mind on the name of this 
varable, and missed this spot on the final edit.  However, my compile 
passed because it was during the time that the powerpc version of WARN 
was never evaluating its printf arguments.

I wrote and compile tested the change, but need to find or setup a 
mailer to send it.
