Description Adam Weinberger 2006-01-03 02:47:30 UTC 
Combining two separate sentences with only a comma is a run-on sentence, and always a grammar error.

msgid ""                                                                                                                                                               
"Couldn't find standard objects when looking for object-libs in '%s', "
"exiting...\n"

In both those strings, I'd suggest changing the comma before "exiting..." to a semicolon (;).
