Thanks! Looks like lots of packages were affected, indeed.

It just looks fishy that this package has around the same number of downloads as 
PEAR installer itself. With *zero* bug reports and feature requests throughout 
its history:

http://pear.php.net/bugs/search.php?cmd=display&package_name[]=File_Mogile&status=All

Are these legitimate downloads (even if automated somehow) or DB corruption?
