Yes, I meant INFORM.  NOTIFY is the internal function used to send 
information to the INFORM list.  :-)

No, it is not an error.  It is a potentially serious run-time condition, 
however, as it is the only record that someone has dynamically changed the 
TCP/IP configuration.  If you had TRACE SECURITY you would get even more 
detail.

If TCP/IP messages were more, uh, disciplined (yeah.  disciplined.), then 
I might raise an eyebrow at the severity code.  At this point, it might do 
more harm than good to change it.  <yawn>
