It doesn't say it's not an ELF executable...

Basically, our exec code falls through and eventually tries to run it as
a script..

The deal is that the ELF exec code is failing to probe it as a Linux ELF
executable for some reason... check which interpreter it's trying, or other
signatures in the ELF ... remember, there's a lot more to go on in an ELF
executable than the magic in the header...
