Hmmm...
that seems to be the typical strange error message of the Siemens/Nixdorf
merger:
SIEMENS
------- = Division by Zero...
NIXDORF
(they are actually using this layout, including the vertical bar,
as their company logo since the merger. Immediately, the joke spawned...
Of course the "division by zero" is not part of their advertising ;-)
Sorry, couldn't resist.
