blah. ok, exact sequence is "2 - 2 - 4". i think the empeg guys were trying to be clever.... isn't the kernel revision they based it on v2.2.4?

Sheesh, conspiracy theorists! If you really want to know, the player software has a table of possible titles for that pop-up window, indexed by action and by whether the action is in progress, succeeded, or failed. Not all elements of the table are filled in, and the default string (if no entry is found) is, for some reason, "Penguin". One particular entry that isn't filled in is the "marking a track, in progress" one (on, presumably, the basis that marking a track is very quick and thus its in-progress message shouldn't ever be seen.)
