.... which the user will mentally translate to "Quadrant change in relocatable
expression in subspace $CODE$" (yes, that's a real error message from HP-UX)
which after another level of mental translation becomes "Go boom fall down.
Click here make better".  After clicking OK, everything works again (or at
least something happens, either a cached response or a replay attack, but in
any case the annoying warning goes away so everything's all right).
