Harmless multicast-related nonsense. Just ignore for giggles.

Actually, the message states that it's "ignorning" it. So I'll have to learn more about ignornance!

Error messages I have known and loved. torgo_x January 26 2006, 07:57:52 UTC
  • "kbuildsyscoca running..."
  • "not a typewriter."
  • "Keyboard macro terminated by a command ringing the bell"
  • "Spork"
  • "Keyboard Error. Press to continue"
  • And all modern inane backtraces from elisp or Java, as in:

    Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-variable abc)
    (duplicate-sequence abc)

    eval((duplicate-sequence abc))

    eval-last-sexp-1(t)

    eval-last-sexp(t)

    eval-print-last-sexp()

    call-interactively(eval-print-last-sexp)

    recursive-edit()
