I've seen a few variations on the following but here is one
example.

This morning I booted up my G5 tower with dual 20" Apple LCDs. I
have a folder of over 700 aliases to my collection of scans and
desktop pics that CD uses. This morning I was curious what the
title of one of the two pics was so I clicked on the CD menu icon
and both were listed as "unknown".

I opened the console log and note the following error about CD.
2004-02-11 08:54:21.080 ChangeDesktopDaemon[342]
ExecuteShellCmd:206 fgets() failed, error=0

(I will attach the entire log for you).

When I pick "Change Pictures Now" CD displays 2 new pics and
displays the names correctly in the menu item.

The other time I have seen this on occasion after using something
CPU intensive like CarbonCopy Cloner to clone a 100GB had to
another. While the CCC runs the screen saver may kick in. Once
CCC is done there are times when "unknown" is displayed.

As requested I am also attaching the Cache Dump.

Oops - looks like only one attachement. I have added the console
log to the TOP of the cache dump.

Thanks for a great product.

    Bill,

    This sounds similar to the problem noted in Bug # 864114. And I was
    thinking a high CPU use problem there too. Can you reproduce the
    problem at will, or is it intermittent?

    Forgot to mention that "ExecuteShellCmd" error log is spurious, it will
    occur everytime the Server is started, and can be safely ignored.
