That is/was triggered by a call in the "sku" field. The idea is that if
you have preloaded a bunch of images by SKU, and you create a new
item with a matching SKU, the images will appear on the page when
you type in the matching sku in the sku field.

I don't believe the current UI has the triggering call in it, but
you could run "grep -rl get_images CATDIR/*" and find where if
anyplace it is called.
