I've Googled the term since posting this and found that «event ascrgdut»
is used to make AppleScript update its knowledge of the installed
scripting additions. It usually generates an error, so in a script, one
would normally put it in a 'try' statement. Presumably, on Yvan's
system, 'display dialog' is not being understood (error number -1708)
and «event ascrgdut» is then being generated to update the scripting
addition inventory (same error). But that only explains the event log.
It doesn't help with the origin of the problem. :\
