Broken binaries

[Quezada, Alex]

Looking at the hex code of the binaries, I see that some numbers (in hex)
get changed to FD.  I don't notice a pattern of which numbers get changed,
but it's always to FD.  I actually took a small gif and changed the FD's
back to the original and the gif worked.  So I'm guessing this has to do
with something local in my environment, since I can't find any similar
problems researching the web or this list.

	I'd still appreciate any pointers on what could cause this.  I did
make sure I'm using the latest GNU tools, but some other tools may be a bit
out of date...  Or  perhaps there's a Perl module responsible for this
behavior?

       Thanks!
