Found FKEY 0? And it's not code? It's actually the "signature resource" from an FKEY manager application. This was a logical, but unfortunate, choice of signature for the FKEY manager. There are two ways you can fix the problem: 1. Don't type command-shift-zero. 2. Turn off the bundle bit on the FKEY manager, then rebuild your Desktop.
