 reason, I presume.

 AFAIK, the result of a write() should always be checked: the socket or NFS
 may have gone down, the drive could be full, etc. If this case is just
 debugging information, or some kind of optional output, ignoring the
 status might be fine, but IMHO it needs comments to explicitly explain why
 it is safe.
