Wouldn't it be more likely that he's running a Windows version, but 
hacked to use 755 as the default perms?  I mean, if he's got to have 
customized/hacked it anyway, that seems like a MUCH simpler hack than 
getting it to run in *ix, except possibly with wine, in which case it'd 
still use the presumably 644 default perms assumption.
