Re: exu not working

Here are a few things to check.

1. Did you upload (FTP) exu in "text" mode?
    It should be uploaded in binary mode, or a few bytes
    could be altered (i.e. \r\n changes to \n). 
    Or do the tar extraction on the Linux machine, 
    after uploading the compressed .tar file in binary mode.
    If exu is altered in any way, it will probably return
    an exit code 127. This is actually the upx decompressor 
    returning a failure code.

2. Do you have permission to cd into /tmp and do: 
         touch junk
    to create a new file there? Is /tmp out of space?

3. Other things to try:
     run:
       strace -o junk exu
    "junk" will have the system calls that exu executed.
