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.
