On my "daily security output" today, I found this waiting for me:
checking setuid files and devices:
robigo setuid/device diffs:
16c16
< -rwsr-xr-x 1 root bin 2263977 Jul 20 14:04:05 1995 \
/usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_W32

> -rwsr-xr-x 1 root bin 2263977 Sep 29 15:50:28 1995 \
/usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_W32
So the size hasn't changed, I don't have a checksum I can look at, but
it seems that the only thing changed is last modification date, but I
don't know why this would have happened. Last night when I tried to
load enriched text mode in Emacs xfs exited with a floating point
exception, and when I finally was able to log out I saw on my console
that X itself (that is, XF86_W32) had exited with a signal 6, or
abort. Could that possibly have anything to do with this change?
