I hope it will be fixed soon because I know for a fact it has infected my 
systems with the .gmon for samba33 samba34 and cups. So far that is all I 
noticed. :(

These are all from recent cups and samba34 on two machines. I'm not willing 
to upgrade anymore machines until these disappear.

Had to nail down some symlinks in /.
