[X4U] Crash-O-Matic

[Michael Elliott]

I'm almost positive that that's a Canon scanner error, where the  
driver is scanning the USB bus looking for that device.  What has  
happened to me before is that the drivers for multiple scanners will  
get installed, and somehow triggered by the pressing one of the  
buttons on the scanner.

If you DO have a Canon scanner in use, try opening Terminal and  
entering the command "top"

Then look and see if you can see a Canon-scanner-sounding name like  
N670button or something like that.  Force quit  (kill PID where PID  
is the ID number of the process you noted in the "top" command") the  
process and see if the Console messages stop.

Then go to your Accounts pane in System Preferences and check under  
Login Items.  Check to see if you have an auto-loading background  
application that lets the scanner buttons function, and delete the  
one that is causing the problem.

If you dont have a Canon scanner hooked up, then nevermind ;-)
