It is due to the system trying to execute an executable file of
size 0 bytes, so the kernel can not get its magic number (only gets
a 0), and can not find a suitable kernel module for its binary format.
I think there was a file named /etc/msec, but you can try:

find / -type f -empty -perm +0111

to get all files, of size 0, and with any exec bit set.
