Sort of- there was only one such directory, containing binary Util.bs  
and Util.so files. However, that directory also contained a .packlist  
file, which appears to associate these binary files with the 1.19  
version (the Util.pm file listed is the 1.19), so I didn't delete  
those. If it helps any, this problem seems to occur most often when  
one of the hosts MRTG is monitoring goes down. I don't know if that  
has any significance or not though. Thanks again.
