Pavel provided me some samples off-list.  The ones shown here are
identified as Stator by the f-prot DOS scanner.

http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.stator () mm html

A few other files (not shown in this note) are Datom:
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.datom.worm.html

Datom scans for open shares, so that's the port 139 traffic.  The Symantec
description of the Stator worm says it's a mass-mailer, so I'm not sure
how that relates, or why they are there.  The filenames match, though.
