OK, I know this one, as I have run into it myself!  What is happening is the
T1 M6 is requesting a tool change.  If you had an ATC, it would execute some
procedure to change the tool and then inform EMC that the change was 
completed.
There is a hal pin commanding the change that needs to be linked to a 
hal pin
signaling the change is complete, if you have no ATC mechanism.

There is a better way to do this, but it involves adding another hal 
component
to your configs files.
See http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?Tool_Changes
for some more info on this.
