I've never seen or heard of this happening ... the above error message 
occurs only
in two places ... when unarchiving data and when deserialising an object 
sent from
another process.  I'm pretty sure that Calculator does not use any 
archives, so I
guess this could only be part of it trying to tell the distributed 
notification
centre that it has started running, and either the data it send to gdnc 
being
corrupt or the data it receives back being corrupt.
I can't really see how that can happen unless by some strange freak of 
chance, gdnc
crashed, and some other non-gnustep process started using its port, so 
everything
trying to connect to gdnc is actually talking to some non-gnustep 
network process.

You could try making sure that gdomap (and gdnc ad gpbs if running) is 
restarted.

If that fails, you could try running with --GNU-Debug=GSTcpHandle and 
--GNU-Debug=NSPort
to see what data is actually being transferred between the processes.

That just looks like there is some bogus data in ProcViewerInfo.plist
try editing it to see.
