Err, of course.

These sound like "ugh, we're broken anyway". Not sure if an additional
message would help here much; I'd expect other code to just handle the
failure (especially things like machine checks). I would not oppose
removing the message :)

Maybe add a comment /* things are really broken, give up */ instead?
