Ok, so here's one thing about bash: to get it to
run an *executable* (as opposed to a *script*),
you need to say "bash -c FLEXPART_GFORTRAN".
You might try strace on that. In addition to the
objdump suggestion.
I have a moment to expand on this a little. The
80-byte read we saw was bash looking at the
beginning of what it that was supposed to be a
script (not a binary) and seeing if it really
appeared to be a script. I did not look like a
script, so bash gave up. (It checks whether the
first line is all printable characters or white
space.)
