Solaris is a BSD, Linux is more of SysV.  I suspect that's the cause of
the problem, either that or it's a byte-ordering issue.  I seem to
recall Sun's being big-endian while PCs are little-endian.  I don't know
off-hand if that affects things, but check the manpage.  As a kludge you
could always add a system("chmod a+x fname");
