I searched Google for the first part of the message and found out that MDS is Module Directory Services, part of the Common Data Security Architecture:

        http://h71000.www7.hp.com/doc/83final/ba554_90006/ch01s02.html

(That document is written for VMS, but the concepts should be roughly the same.)

The message comes from Apple's implementation of MDS. This is part of the Security subsystem, so it most probably happens as part of Growl accessing the Keychain (which, in turn, is most probably for either MailMe or forwarding). At this point, I say it's either a bug in the MDS code or a problem on your system.

I suggest editing the title on your bug report to start with “Security/ CDSA/MDS: ”, so they know what it's really about.
