No, it was certainly generated with a home made script. I often use R to
create data and colored circles or triangles that I then map out with
ps.map. For that I copy files directly into the sites directory (I guess I
should better use s.in.ascii...)

I don't know why I didn't notice this problem before, however...maybe I
never used this specific site file.
