I get lots of these in system.log. What are they?

What peripherals do you have hanging off your Mac?

Looks like maybe an IO port is freaking out.

Nothing but my trusty Sprint PCS Merlin C201 card which is my only option for connecting to the internet (which I am obviously using right now)

Are there any tests or logs or somesuch I could use to shed further light on this matter?

Not to my knowledge. It's coming from the kernel, so I doubt it's from an app. It's probably from the card. Does it happen when the card isn't active? What if the card isn't in? Using the time stamps it should be pretty easy to figure out.

Well, I went around and did a housecleaning. I also noticed that "aped" was logging some junk, even though APE was supposed to not even be running. After uninstalling and rebooting, I haven't had a single log like that.

Let's hope this also fixes my Lockup problem.

Actually, there's an aped process that is part of the OS as well. Which is confusing when coupled with the haxie of the same name. So, that part might be benign.
