this message just popped up on my desktop. never seen it before, and googling isn't telling me anything.

'ath'??? anyone know what this is? or what it relates to?? not urgent (i think, everything seems ok), but curious...

I don't know if it's quitting is a problem, but here's what I found out about what "ath" is.

ath is the part of the AirTrafficHost process used by iTunes and iOS 5 to sync iPhones/iPads over a wireless rather than USB connection.

Oh, and a couple other people are having this issue recently.
