OK, my suggestion is for all those that have not seen this - there
appears to be a file in the Yahoo group file list, but I don't at this
point know which one.
This appears to have a bug that will cause it to attempt to delete a
lot of files from your system, including the system. If you run with
admin privs, which a lot of us do, it could badly damage your
installation.
Just avoid it until we know more.
Jeff, if you ever get a moment, perhaps you could give me the URL to
the file.
