It's a UNIX daemon that facilitates running a certain kind of service
called an "RPC service"- it's basically a way for a process to talk to
such a service ("RPC service") acting as a "helper" to the main
application. I think FrameMaker uses this but I'm not certain. If
rpcbind isn't running, the communication fails (which might account
for the error message). you can see if it's running by doing "ps
-elf" and grepping for "rpcbind". If you find a process with that
name, it's running.
Unless we can find something that consistently triggers the error message
I don't think there's much I can do.
