Unless you have ls aliased to ls -l or something, that's not a very accurate

(note the two dashes), so I added an alias to binfmt--310 and voila it
worked.

I have the same problem.
I have been running Debian 1.3.0 on a 2.0.30 kernel since April; before
that I was running Slackware and this file has probably been around
since then. Last fall when it was a Slackware system I tried running
some 2.1.x kernels for a short time, probably 2.1.1x or 2.1.2x
Hi,
I'm programming in C++ and I want to
change my displaymode to the 132 columns mode.
How do I do that ?!
Thanx,

Actually, i-nodes can be recycled, so it isn't a good idea to depend

This is somewhat of a bug report, but its really not a real 'bug'... The
