	Right, but *why* are they so different?  Was it perhaps a change 
in a library, a change in the compiler, or was it that the source 
code for these programs itself actually changed so much?

	I understand their being replaced (and why the security report 
would flag them all), but I don't understand why they were all so 
different to begin with.

  Unix is like a wigwam -- no Gates, no Windows, and an Apache inside.
   Unix is very user-friendly.  It's just picky who its friends are.
