Well, that may be a strong indicator that you do have a penalty. Can't know for sure, however, when I became worried about a domain I recently registeed (there were a handful of weird links out there and it wasn't getting indexed) I emailed Google and in two days received an email assuring me that there was no penalty in effect.
