Something went wrong on my end: I thought this was a clang warning and
that I had
fixed it because it didn't come back with my v2 patch. However I now see it in
my gcc-11 test builds, so I assume this was a gcc warning all along, and that
my patch does nothing. Please disregard it if you have not already applied it.
