You're right, if you can't stat the binary it won't test true under
"test -x". I'll do it this way and we'll see if we ever run into a
problem.
(We could do something like set an environment variable and test for
it to prevent recursion, but then you get situations like
/usr/athena/bin/listmaint not working in a subshell that you spawned
from a listmaint process.)
