In my experience such errors are indicative of trying to run a binary
incompatible with your kernel (eg, a sparc binary on an i386, or an
a.out binary under an ELF-only kernel).  Check with "file" (assuming
*that* works!) to see what kind of files the find and man executables
are....  (The strange error arises because the file isn't executable
any other way, so someone - the kernel or the shell, I forget which -
tries to run it as a shell script.)
