Actually, I did not find that code particularly hard to understand
(although I found where the issue was with fprintf, not only by
looking at the code), I do not think that a rewrite is particularly
needed.  My point about interactions with other parts of the code is
more that I haven't checked that having a node name as an empty string
or 0 and a file name set in the entry structure could lead to issues
later on in the code or not.
