I'm going for OSX,  10.0 came out about 2000 so it would need to be very old, plus MacOS9 didn't have a terminal, and CoreServices is a framework on OSX. 

It provides the non-gui parts of Carbon, networking, sound, process management, that kind of thing, so knowing that doesn't narrow it down much 

So the standard support questions, what was he doing at the time? Is there a full error message? Is he using terminal.app?
