I have several entries in my per-client log for my XP machine
that seem odd.  A snippet from my log -- the odd entries are
between the sets of "=====".

------------------------------

It's not just audi[o], but I'll see it with other services too where
it says it can't find service "X" but with the last letter cut off.
Is this just a normal part of Win-XP trying to do name completion for
me or something weird?

Thanks,
