Yeah, the debugging kernel has found some errors and wants to report it to
your debugging window.  If you run dbwin.exe (in c700\bin), that should
fire up a window that will receive the AUX output and report the errors for
you.  Incidentally, using the debugging kernel in conjunction with
dbwin.exe is an invaluable programming tool.  Not only does it report a lot
of otherwise unseen errors, but you can use the dbwin window to send trace
messages (a la DebugOutput(DBF_TRACE | DBF_APPLICATION, "trace message")).

(P.S. Don't be surprised that applications that work fine report errors.
I've found that most Windows programs overlook some subtleties of the
Windows API.  Also, if you've been wondering why the number of Free
Resources drops after running programs, dbwin can be used to report which
applications are allocating resources but forgetting to free them when
they're done.  It can give you a feel for how well programmed those
commercial packages that you bought really are.)
