This one was reported because its not clear to me why its being cast to (void).
The best I can tell, its programmer expediency. If the first write fails, why is
it believed the second, third or fourth will succeed?
Also, this is occurring in a signal handler, so it seems like there's a
potential to make a bad problem worse.
