We had been using sh -C ": >filename" to atomically create a file, but this has the unfortunate side effect of producing an error message if the file already exists. So suppress the error.

	Here's a fix to a mistake in the patch I just sent.  If the
	patch was meant for application, I would be suggesting
	squashing this change in.  Sorry for the noise.
