  It's undoubtedly a result of an update.  The dll hasn't changed, the .def file
has, I leave the logic as an exercise for the reader!  It's quite possible they
changed their detect signature for IROffer in order to avoid some other false
positive or collision, and accidentally ran straight into another one.  So it
goes.  NBD!
