	It is a AMD64 system. Perhaps this makes a difference.
>Description:
	ldd is not able to show dependencies, although file is a dynamic executable.

>How-To-Repeat:
	Use ldd on a dynamic executable:

root at ddba034:/usr/local/netvault/bin > file txtconfig 
txtconfig: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (FreeBSD), for FreeBSD 5.4, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped
root at ddba034:/usr/local/netvault/bin > ldd txtconfig 
ldd: txtconfig: can't read program header
ldd: txtconfig: not a dynamic executable

	Reading the elf header with readelf is possible.

>Fix:
