Hallo Alexandre,
no, I don't have binfmt_misc installed.
But reading the exec manpage, it tells that first the file is tried
with execve as an executable, and if it is no executable as a script
with /bin/sh.
The strace looks according:
4141 fork() = 4146
4141 write(8, "\t\0\0\0", 4 <unfinished ...>
4146 execve("/cdroms/bb-9805/trees.pdf",
["/cdroms/bb-9805/trees.pdf", "\"J:\\bb-9805\\trees.pdf\""], \
[/* 49 vars */]) = -1 ENOEXEC (Exec format error)
^^^^^^^
4146 execve("/bin/sh", ["/bin/sh", "/cdroms/bb-9805/trees.pdf",\
^^^^^^^^
"\"J:\\bb-9805\\trees.pdf\""], [/* 49 vars */]) = 0
4146 brk(0) = 0x80c204c
4146 open("/etc/ld.so.preload", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT \
(No such file or directory)
... and later:
4146 read(4, "%PDF-1.2\r%\342\343\317\323\r\n1004 0 obj\r<< \r/"\
..., 80) = 80
4146 fstat(2, {st_mode=S_IFCHR|0620, st_rdev=makedev(136, 0), ...}) = 0
4146 mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, \
MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x40019000
4146 ioctl(2, TCGETS, {B9600 opost isig icanon echo ...}) = 0
4146 write(2, "/cdroms/bb-9805/trees.pdf: /cdro"..., 81) = 81
4146 munmap(0x40019000, 4096) = 0
4146 _exit(126) = ?
4141 <... read resumed> 0x4105fd1c, 4) = ? ERESTARTSYS (To be restarted)
4141 --- SIGCHLD (Der Kind-Prozeß ist beendet) ---
So we don't get the exit status of the /bin/sh call.
Bye
