[Casper] MS Office bitmap errors flooding syslog

[Ryan Harter]

Hey All-

We have all of our syslogs sent to a central server and I've recently  
been trolling them to diagnose a wonky machine and I noticed that my  
syslogs are being flooded with MS Office errors like so:

Mar 30 00:49:15 110lrc-09 Microsoft PowerPoint[80973]:  
CGBitmapContextGetData: invalid context

It seems that this exact message is repeated (sometimes for  
powerpoint, sometimes for word) about 10-20 time per second, so that I  
can page down through ~100 pages of the log and see nothing but this.

The user doesn't experience any problems, or at least doesn't report  
them, and there don't appear from my testing to be any end user  
symptoms, but it gets really annoying when I'm trying to sift through  
my logs and this is all I see.  The logs for each day are sometimes  
getting up over 10 megs per machine per day.  Largest one is 25 megs  
of text in one day.

Has anyone else noticed this?  I'm not sure of the cause but it  
wouldn't surprise me given the track record with Microsoft and their  
Mac software.
