Why is Leopard annoying my users?

OK, I received an annoying report from an user this morning. If you turn the Leopard firewall on and run my application, Leopard presents the user the following dialog three (!) times:

Do you want the application "QRecall.app" to accept incoming network
connections?


Clicking Deny may limit the application's behavior. This setting can be
changed in the Firewall pane of the Security preferences.


Poking around, I see these in /var/log/appfirewall.log

Nov 19 16:45:37 james-bucaneks-power-mac-g5 Firewall[45]: QRecall is
listening from 0.0.0.0:49286 uid = 501 proto=6 Nov 19 16:45:37
james-bucaneks-power-mac-g5 Firewall[45]: QRecallScheduler is listening
from 0.0.0.0:49287 uid = 501 proto=6 Nov 19 16:45:37
james-bucaneks-power-mac-g5 Firewall[45]: QRecallMonitor is listening
from 0.0.0.0:49288 uid = 501 proto=6


My application is not a network service and is not creating any incoming TCP sockets. I *am* creating some named BSD sockets for distributed object communications (something I had to do to get the app to run on Leopard -- yes, there's plenty of irony here).

Does anyone know what's causing this and how do I get it to stop?
