Very interesting, thanks! But the plot thickens. I followed that link
/usr/bin/firefox and discovered that in the end it launches a binary
'firefox' of scarce 30KB! It is in /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.9.
Now, where is the real firefox binary that must have quite a size if
you judge from its Windows sibling? It is nowhere! It seems to me that
the 30KB files is just handling some jar-files, i.e. compressed java
libraries. If so, your example does not apply to compiled Linux
binaries with the ELF format.
Would you try to launch a real ELF binary from your Lotus client?
Please note that when I use the Wine browser to launch an ELF
application, it tells me "bad EXE format".
