Nice catch, but no, flags just needs to be dropped.

The "flags" was added in a different patch, and as I was writing updates in
individual patches (and not a series), I found that in some places that I
had conflicts. And the patch that added "flags" all over the place I had to
update accordingly.

This is simply a case of me adding ", flags" to the wrong function
(*embarrassed*)!

It doesn't need to be printed, but it shouldn't be passed to die either.

One way I could have caught this was by adding the printf attribute to the
die() header, where things like this will cause warnings.

Thanks for the report. I'll fix it.
