The source will have come from when you STRIPed your executable,
junk off your HD gets filled into the unused areas of the file,
often source code or dissasembly type stuff (seeing as this is
most recently handled.)
The STRIP command should really fill unused bytes with NULLs,
more so for compactness when zipping, than revealing the depths
of your inner soul from your HD :)
