Q:

What is this in my console when I run TaskMaster? Why can't I see the Info Panel?

A:

The version you have is a fat binary version of TaskMaster (the version of the software which will run on multiple architectures). The problem is that NEXTSTEP 3.1 is needed for full support of fat binaries, and you are running NEXTSTEP 3.0.

More specifically, fat applications which use what are called loadable bundles will not work unless you have NEXTSTE 3.1. Some applications use bundles to load tools (e.g. IconBuilder) so they would not work at all. The only loadable bundle we have is our Info Panel, so that's what is causing the error message. Everything else should work correctly. NeXT put some fat binary support in NEXTSTEP 3.0, but not all of it.
