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! :-)
