I checked Symantec's and McAfee's virus site for the file and turned up 
empty.  It's not a virus or an abortive attempt at one.  And a search of 
www.securityfocus.com came up empty.  If you are running squid, it came up in 
a recent Linux Advisory Watch(7/29/01).  If you search for squid on 
securityfocus, it comes up.  Now to figure out how it got there.
