    Just in case anyone gets the great idea of downloading this tar.gz and check 
    it out for themselves, beware!  These binaries are infected with a variant of 
    the linux.jac virus.  If these binaries executed on your machine with root 
    privs, you are hosed for 'plenty' of other reasons than just being rooted.
    
    Remember to always AV scan binaries obtained in the wild, and never examine 
    binaries in an environment that you can't throw away(or reboot).  
    use FIRE... http://fire.dmzs.com
