Looking at the hex code of the binaries, I see that some numbers (in hex)
get changed to FD. I don't notice a pattern of which numbers get changed,
but it's always to FD. I actually took a small gif and changed the FD's
back to the original and the gif worked. So I'm guessing this has to do
with something local in my environment, since I can't find any similar
problems researching the web or this list.
I'd still appreciate any pointers on what could cause this. I did
make sure I'm using the latest GNU tools, but some other tools may be a bit
out of date... Or perhaps there's a Perl module responsible for this
behavior?
Thanks!
Alex
