Gentlemen, am I just seeing things or is this just keeping me up all night.
When I strip an executable that has the 10/26/96 version of the stub.
I get an 08/26/96 version of the stub for that executable (See below for
the details).
It seems to me that strip has an 08/26/96 stub contained in it that it uses
when it strips an executable.
        1) Does this create a problem
        2) Why does it do this?
