It means that we couldn't find any reference to it in a doc or
anywhere else online.  However, we have since become aware of how this
variable might be created.

it was a small block of code that checks for a $_SERVER var.  If that
var was present, it would redefine SM_PATH.  Under normal
circumstances, this would never be executed, but we have since learned
how to make it execute.

Please upgrade to 1.4.13. :-)
