This file appeared in root's home directory after I ran /etc/init.d/xdm 
from there a couple of times as I was researching my previous bug report.
This is the second time I have seen this; in both cases I started xdm, and
then stopped it while it was churning through /dev/urandom (see other bug
report).

Not pretty.

Closing since the kernel since the required conditions to reproduce the
bug are very hard to meet nowadays. If anybody ever reproduces, feel
free to reopen.

Thanks,
