I want to thank everyone for their opinions on this as well as anyone
kind enough to offer even the slightest bit of info.  For the record, I
hit every single Antivirus manufacturer, bugtraq and ISC all day
yesterday and most of the night.  I saw, and found, NOTHING.  Bottom
line is, when I thought it was a virus/trojan, and I found no inkling
that anyone else had seen it/reported it, I started hitting all the
lists I subscribe to.  I don't subscribe to a lot of lists, and like a
lot of you, I simply don't have time to subscribe to every list I wanted
to or needed.  This was not a simple case of wasting bandwidth, I was at
my wits end.  Normally, the linux/OSS lists are the most helpful and in
most cases, the most informed.  When any responsible admin sees thing
going on his networks that doesn't look right, he starts hunting for the
problem.  And I'm one of those to not dismiss a potential resource
because it may or may not be relevant in that resource.

Therefore, I apologize for the wasted bandwidth, am grateful for all the
help offered and will gratefully close this thread.
