Last night, I was connecting to my idisk and running a copy of Macromedia's Contribute 2, and the following dialogue popped up. Any ideas what is means and why it says "shucks"? Could this be some sort of Panther "easter egg"?

[P]

-55 means that the Finder tried to mount a volume that was already mounted. For some reason it thought the iDisk got unmounted and tried to remount it. It may have been some network issue, it's hard to say. The dialog text looks like it was a some sort of placeholder that made it into the final product.

Did a grep for "shucks" in /System/Library/CoreServices, /System/Library/Frameworks, and /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks, and nothing turned up, so the "Schucks" button is probably Macromedia's. My guess is that it was trying to communicate with the Finder via AppleScript and got an error back.

It was "Shucks" with "sh" and not "sch". Did you search for the correct word?

Yeah, it was "shucks." Sorry about that, it was a typo. Anyway, the word doesn't appear in those directories. You can search yourself if you'd like to verify...

Well, anyways, it made me laugh.
