What is this "remindme" program? Does it run an then just terminate immediate
or what for the user to "quit" it or what?

I suspect the program (in this case, "remindme") is terminating while there is still input from the remote user that's trying to be sent to it. Is it always this "remindme" program that's been run when this error occurs?
