Hi...

	Another thing that I just found...strip can't strip itself,
with the following error:

hub# ./strip strip
./strip: strip: File format not recognized

	Now, I don't know much about /etc/magic and magic numbers, but
could this have anythign to do with it?

hub# file strip
strip: FreeBSD/i386 demand paged executable not stripped
hub# file `which strip`
/usr/bin/strip: FreeBSD/i386 demand paged dynamically linked executable

	the first strip is in /usr/local/bin, from binutils and the
second is what is default with the system...

Thanks again...
