[cobalt-security] /usr/local/sbin/monitor failure

[Dan Keller <dan@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Cobalt Guri,

Every 15 minutes, for the last day or so, I have been
receiving the following error:

Can't locate /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/auto/Cobalt/Repair/repair_exam.al in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/mips-linux/5.00404 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/mips-linux /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl .) at /usr/local/sbin/monitor line 140

Obviously, the monitor script has suddenly ceased
being able to find repair_exam.al.  However, that
directory does contain a file named repair_examine.al.

Also, line 140 of the monitor script is:

    Cobalt::Repair::repair_examine($svr);

Note that repair_examine is being called, not repair_exam.

I'm baffled.  What could have caused repair_examine.al
to be incorrectly invoked by the monitor script?

Could this be evidence of some strange hack attack?

TIA for any light you can shed!
