Time for a new game show; Name That Icon!

The story:  The following icon appears at the bottom left of my Mac
screen during boot.  I have never seen this icon before, and nobody
else where I work can identify the application/INIT/CDEV/whatever
that it belongs to.  So, I turn to you, the net.  Name this icon:
(tip: It helps if you blur your eyes and ignore the periods at the left)

I apologize for the horrible way square graphics come out in ascii
characters.  For those of you in need of a translation, it sort of
looks like a box, with a picture of a telephone on the front, a
hammer inside, and a screwdriver adjusting the phone on the outside.

Anyway, even if you can identify this, I need more.  I want to get
rid of this thing.  What I have tried:

 * Using the INIT cdev to disable ALL INITs in its list.  Upon reboot,
   this single icon still showed up at the bottom of the screen.
 * Of course, this did not appear in the System Folder, or I would
   simply have dragged it out.  So I loaded MacTools and searched
   for invisible files.  Didn't find anything.
 * So I loaded up ResEdit.  I found the above icon in ICN# with the
   number "-32512."  It warned me that this was loaded and in use.

So, if you can NAME THAT ICON, please let me know!  Thanks!  :-)
