AC_RunActiveContent.js Giving Off IE 5 signatures in logs

Question

I'm using a Flash Object on our main homepage (www.usgs.gov)
that is exported for version 6 and above. It's embedded in the page
using the code from DW CS3 with the AC_RunActiveContent.js file.
Yesterday I was going through our logs and found that 35% of our
visitors were using an IE 5.01 browser. Looking at past monthly log
files I found the same thing back until the month that we placed
that Flash object on the page. The previous months before that has
less than 1% IE 5.01 visits. For some reason, after the
introduction of the Flash object, we had a huge increase in IE 5
visits. I can only assume that it has something to do with
AC_RunActiveContent.js file since the logs are picking up a browser
signature of IE 5.01.
Is there something in AC_RunActiveContent.js that would be
giving this off? Or is it a possibility that there could be a
"default" browser signature assumed (by the IE 6 or 7 browser, or
others) of IE 5.01 that automatically gets passed for Flash objects
for some reason? Is that even possible?
Has anyone else checked their log files and seen this?
