Don't drop the topic. Just do a bit more investigation. It maybe you've found an 
obscure myth bug which the devs haven't noticed because it doesn't happen to 
them, and it hasn't been reported by anyone else.

Whenever you find out where these files come from, we'd like to know, so that we 
(the community) can either cross this off the list or apply a fix/workaround. 
That would be good development practice.

Those files may not have anything to do with myth. Your box might have been 
rootkitted/pwned instead. Whatever, a line or two with the cause would be 
useful, once you figure it out.
