What's the purpose of the capacitor on the AC mains line to chassis for?

It's shown on one AC line just before the line connects to one of the leads of the primary winding of the transformer.

Any ideas?

The plug is an old style two blade non polarized plug. The user has a 50/50 chance of the chassis being hot 120V to a grounded object when plugged in to an outlet.
