I suspect (but do not KNOW) that this is what happens when you try to run
a program that was compiled on a libc-based system on a glibc system (or
vice versa). The file permissions, etc all look OK (they ARE ok), but it 
doesn't run becasue the libraries are not the right ones at all.

Makes sense? Completely off base? Can someone confirm this speculation, or 
supply a better explanation....
