Not sure what the action should be - I don't know what this second
invocation of "geometry" is supposed to do anyway.
Thierry told me that his patch against 0.92 had been ported to 0.93 some
time ago - a thread about this starts at
http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-grub/2003-10/msg00088.html
A quick look at the thread seems to show that the -w issue is not the main
point of the patch.
