What you're seeing there is a difference in one of the C lib calls (I forget which -- use strace to find out). I suspect there isn't an easy way unless there's a wrapper library for it.

Also, "Cannot execute binary file" is usually a response to trying to exec a non-Linux executable in Linux. You might want to check exactly what is being executed as you call 'automount'; you may have, for example, copied something from your Solaris boxes into your Linux machines. As Thomas mentioned, 'strace' is your friend.

I was teaching a Linux class to a bunch of Windows C++ developers a while back. When I showed them strace, their eyes got wide. When I showed them how to strace an already running program, their jaws dropped. The lead developer said "I spent the last three days rewriting my app to do that to trace a bug!"
There are times I think Windows developers don't truly grok computers.

Well, duh. Otherwise, they'd hear the horrible screams of the tortured electrons and feel the suffering of the innocent CPU cycles as they are mercilessly mangled by their OS of choice. No one could possibly grok and withstand such horror.
Apropos of nothing, I wonder if drinking those 8 cups of double espresso this morning has had any effect. Other than making my eyebrows climb to the back of my head, I mean.
