[Ldsoss] Any idea what this is?

[lists at unixtricks.com]

I just took a look at that site and he's right.  Seems odd that they would 
have "missed" something that major.  The shopping cart software looks like 
it was compiled with Zend Optimizer, but the server that is hosting the 
cart, and perhaps the site, does not support it.  Additionally, the web 
server is running in safe mode.  If it were my site, I'd move it to a 
different hosting provider.  Just my $.02.

BTW, this is nothing security-related (as far as your computer is 
concerned).  The message is not indicating that you should install Zend 
Optimizer, it is asking the webmaster to install it.
