$VERBOSE = nil

there are a few other annyoing warnings, and some good ones, that this shuts
up.  in my opinion the system level and language level warnings should be
controlled differently for this reason.  i work in a collaborative laboratory
so you can imagine we have thousands of group writable directories.  i can
have every single one of my shared programs spew warnings when run (hardly
confidence inspiring) so i simply must turn $VERBOSE off ;-(
