[ILUG] Wierdo "no such file or directory"

[Kenn Humborg]

Explain this:

# cd /usr/bin
# ls -l redir
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root        11932 Nov 15  1998 redir
# wc redir
     48     373   11932 redir
# ./redir
bash: ./redir: No such file or directory
# ldd ./redir
ldd: can't execute ./redir (No such file or directory)
# file ./redir
./redir: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1, dynamically
linked, stripped
#


So, the directory entry exists (according to ls).
The file is there and is all readable (according
to wc).

But we can't execute it.

RH4.2, kernel 2.0.36.
