Description Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2016-01-26 21:41:33 UTC 
nonfatal die -n "foo" simply returns with status 1, without any output.

PMS is quite explicit that it should display the error message even in this case:
"If called under the nonfatal command (as per section 11.3.3.1) and with -n as its first parameter, displays a failure message provided in its following argument and then returns a non-zero exit status."
