Actually, no. It means that a protocol violation happened. It is our cop out error value if we have nothing useful to say instead. If a translator dies, you get "Translator died". If a critical translator bites the dust, init should notice and shutdown the system and reboot. Thanks, Marcus -- `Rhubarb is no Egyptian god.'
