Windows XP SP1 on one system and Windows XP on the other. Eventually
the code will be run on linux boxes, however, shameful as it might be, I
like to use Windows for my IDE and Debugger.

(um, fix it? I am going out on a limb here and guess that you are one of
the developers on this project. If you are, thanks for all the hard
work!)
I am not sure what you mean by "must have been removed", as it is still
there. Possibly you are saying that it "should have been removed". In
that case, I am sure it is still there because I ran go-pear again
before gathering this information. go-pear hung and I gave it the old
^C...

And having stopped go-pear would explain why this file is here, and why
it has an '_old' suffix. Probably due to the fact that go-pear was
doing some cleanup and I stopped it half way through. Really though, I
waited for 15 minutes before stopping go-pear. The root of the problem
may be found in why go-pear freezes, however, after I try RC2, that
might even be a mute point.

I am working on that right now. I will let you know what I find out.
Thanks again for all the help!
