Logic would also point out that since some programs (most notably Netscape)
have not yet converted to a.out, there should be a way for a.out programs to
work under an ELF kernel. Thus, it goes without saying that keeping your mind
open and considering other possibilities will lead to a conclusion that perhaps
there is something misconfigured on your system. :-)

In fact, it's an Unofficial Law (Moore should have thought of this): 
        Misconfigurations are 95% of problems with systems.

Anyway, enough rambling from me. (this is offtopic enough anyhow)
