I've never seen this, although I suppose it's theoretically
possible. It should never
normally be necessary to send this file out with a product - it's
always present.
But I wouldn't expect to see the error message he reported in this
situation - it's
quite specific, and it points to loading a program through the same
library that
contains an AIF:PE trap, which is a no-no.
