Yep, this silences sparse. I would have declared the variable to be
(say) fd (and changed the _use_ site as well, of course!), rather
than once again hiding the index_fd() global function. However, this
is perfectly fine as-is.

The actual culprit is the index_fd() global function, but renaming it
now is probably not worth the code churn (and I'm lazy). ;-)

Thanks!
