Got it!
I take it that you wore this shirt when you were a DEC guy?

IKF4084
OS/360 Messages and Codes says IKF is a Cobol compiler message. The
COBOL manual says (going from memory here -- it's not on Al's site):
IKF4084-I -- Questionable use of parentheses accepted
with doubts as to meaning
I haven't a clue what kind of code a compiler would generate when it
spits out a message like that. My guess is that this is what you get
if you feed it the source line "(.)(.)" but I haven't actually tried
that.
