First, if your application needed to create a file and failed to, what
will it do next?  Retry?  That will fail.  Exit?  How is this
better than an abort with more useful information?

Steve, honestly, take a step back.  The tools found a bug in your code
for you.  Celebrate.  End the day 15 minutes early and have a beer.
That's free work.
