an xbuffy problem? [was Re: Why do I get this error message?]

[Lance Simmons <lance@lsimmons.net>]

I haven't really solved this, but at least the problem has gone away.
What I didn't mention originally (because I didn't think of it) was
that I had xbuffy set to blink the keyboard's led to signal new mail.
As I thought through the different possible causes of this error
message, I remembered that xbuffy interacts with the keyboard, so I
turned off that feature of xbuffy. Since then, I haven't had an error
message any more.

I don't know if this is because of a problem with the microsoft natural
keyboard or because of a problem with xbuffy. Has anyone else had
problems with xbuffy's led blinking feature?

Thanks for the various suggestions.
