I absolutely do understand that Carl.  I am sorry - should have phrased 
it differently.  'Windows version' = the older version that I had 
running on the computer that recently died which ran the windows xp 
professional operating system, the full version of which was reported in 
my original post:

When I said 'Linux version', I was referring to the newer version I am 
running on the Linux machine:

What I should have said was: "Interesting that this warning is not 
present in ffmpeg version N-78758-g5156578 running on a windows xp 
operating system yet is on ffmpeg version 4.3-static running on Ubuntu 
Linux 20.04, each with the above reported compilation options & versions 
of the related libraries, when operating on identical files."  I 
apologize - did not realize that using shorthand as I did would cause 
confusion.

I've no idea how N-78758-g5156578 compares with 4.3-static as far as age 
goes, other than it's older because I've been running it for years.  
(And this is assuming it's not something to do with the underlying 
operating system and not ffmpeg itself.)  I am curious as to why the 
older version doesn't issue a warning that the newer version does, but 
it's not important either.
