The message is from the shell.  The 'strings' command in MINIX 1.5 (and 
UNIX) is very helpful for things like this.  With this command, and
fgrep, you can find the source of the message in less time than it
takes you to say, "Where the h*ll is that d*mn message coming from?"

As to WHY you are getting the message, I have no idea.
