I have 3 native stdole files:

[paul at penguin tools]$ ll std*
-rw-rw-r--  1 paul paul 16896 Feb 21 14:39 stdole2.tlb
-rw-rw-r--  1 paul paul  7168 Feb 17 19:57 stdole32.tlb
-rw-rw-r--  1 paul paul  5472 Feb 21 16:48 stdole.tlb

`strings` show:

[paul at penguin tools]$ strings stdole2.tlb | grep -e MSFT -e SLTG
MSFT
[paul at penguin tools]$ strings stdole32.tlb | grep -e MSFT -e SLTG
SLTG
[paul at penguin tools]$ strings stdole.tlb | grep -e MSFT -e SLTG
SLTG

This explains the traces (a bit). But not why our stdole32.tlb has a
MSFT signature.

Cheers,

Paul.
