We occasionally see something that might cause those symptoms. Once in a while, it seems as though the cached text for some binary will be corrupted. The *file* will appear fine, but everybody on the system will find that that binary won't run, dumps core or whatever. It can be "fixed" by renaming the real binary & copying the renamed binary to its usual name. Since the new binary is a different inode, those cached pages don't apply to it. After a while (when all the executing copies exit?) the cached pages go away and the old binary will work too, so you can rename it back. Stuart Levy
