Greetings,

I just discovered some weird file modes in my /usr/local/bin directory.
Here's an example:

?r-S--S--- 256 129      root     160582144 Oct  1  2028 glimpse
?r-S--S--- 256 129      root     131616512 Oct  1  2028 glimpseindex
?r-S--S--- 256 129      root     159824128 Oct  1  2028 glimpseserver
...
rws--x--x   1 root     root       633204 Apr 16  1998 ssh*
?-w------x 52224 50432    256      3992978824 Feb 10  1970 ssh-add
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root       356999 Sep 24  1997 ssh-add.old*
?-w------x 55296 13312    256      3992978848 Feb 10  1970 ssh-agent
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root       361858 Sep 24  1997 ssh-agent.old*
?-w------x 33792 62720    256      3992977664 Feb 10  1970 ssh-askpass

Not oall of the files have this problem, but a few of these files are
larger than the disk.  Any ideas/suggestions?

Chip
