Very stupid. As you can see i'm new to translators...
Maybe you're the first one to make this mistake, but I doubt you will be the last one, so maybe the Hurd should behave different in such a situation. So, should "settrans" refuse to set a translator if the translating program (in this case /dev/hd1s1) is not executable or is there any reason not to do this? Sure, if you set a passive translator and then clear the execute bit of the translating program, the same problem will occur when accessing the translated node, but that is far less likely than a user getting the order of arguments wrong.
