It turns out that applying the 1.1.54 patch to a 1.1.53 system will lead
to this problem. The simple solution is to edit binfmt_elf.c which, as the
result of applying the patch, contains two copies of the file. I just
simply went down to the start of the second copy and deleted to the end
of file and then rebuilt the kernel.

Thanks to all those who took the time to reply. If I'd bothered to think
rather than just panic (something that's easy to do at 2 in the morning having
worked all day on other computer problems) I'd have probably worked this
out for myself....
