It is most likely that the 'Checksum error' part is genuine and the
'Inappropriate ioctl for device' part of the message is bogus.

For all executables the subroutine do_executable tries the
following decoders in turn: unzip, unrar, lha - in an attempt
to decode even self-extracting executables. In most cases
it turns out the executable is a plain executable, not a
SFX archive, so all three attempts fail because the files
is not sfx zip, nor sfx rar, and nor sfx lha archive.

These decoding attempt can provoke a warning from decoders,
which complain the given file is not their type of archive
- and rightfully they may complain. So this is all normal
and part of the design. It has always been like that,
since early days of AMaViS.
