That's the way some of the Linux distributions are going - at least, 
the HP RedHat one is. It's the thing I most dislike about Linux. Lots 
of people making trivial changes to make it the way *they* think it 
should be. Under HP RedHat, 'ls' sorts the '.' files amongst the 
others. Why??. If they change things it should be controlled with a 
flag. Guess it's just a bunch of ex-Wintel users saying 'Look - I can 
change the OS'.

I would expect the binary from Tiger to work.
