Give me a break!  You said you had the SOURCES to this program!!  Are your
eyes broken?  Before wasting net bandwidth and perhaps needlessly alarming
hundreds of people, why don't you just take a look at the source and see
if there's a legitimate reason for what it's doing?  And how about compiling
the source and comparing the result to the binaries that came with it?
