This may be completely unrelated, but it's worth knowing anyway.  I had a user
the other day who got this message with every command he tried to run, pwd,
ls, printenv, whatever.  The culprit turned out to be an `unlimit' command in
his .login.  Apparently if you `unlimit stack' you are suddenly unable to
execute any dynamically linked executables.  `limit stack 2M' cured the
problem.
