I'm sorry I didn't make myself more clear...

That much I knew, and thought I'd made clear when I pointed out that I
knew it was produced by gprof.

Does this mean that the site-owner is actually compiling something on
the machine?  Seems impossible; they don't have root access.  The
machine owner didn't compile anything; I didn't compile anything.

That's why I'm asking if this is a security issue.

Could it mean someone we don't know has gone into the box and compiled
things?
