Getting a Strange “Component Manager” Message Under OS X?

Posting this just in case anyone needs it. I’ve been getting the following strange message lately in logs and consoles under OS X:

## Component Manager: attempting to find symbols in a component alias of type (regR/carP/x!bt)



As it turns out, I had just installed Toast. A quick Google search leads me to blame Toast and remove a QuickTime component supporting Video CD. That’s pretty obscure. Hmph. So much for never again worrying about strange drivers and cryptic error messages under OS X. :) shortname=strange_component_error

    All operating systems suck right? So it’s really just a matter of which one sucks less.

    Mac OS X still sucks much less than any version of Windows…
