I started getting this error when I migrated to Openserver 6. SCO "never 
heard of it".  I'm on 4.5 as well.  It happens intermittently during 
inquire, indexing, reports, etc.  Basically at any point, and not 
related to any (non-existent) devices at all.

After much trial and error, it seems that (for me) this "may" be caused 
by having too many users on the systems.  I have solved it by either 
getting users off the system, or shutting down if users do not log off 
properly and showing people how to really log off.

Good luck.
