well yes, this is why Debian policy states that:
"Shared libraries should not be installed executable, since the dynamic
linker does not require this and trying to execute a shared library
usually results in a core dump."

now i figure that the mayhem testsuite tried to run all "executable"
files installed by a given package. since flite.pd_linux *is* installed
as executable, the test properly tried to run this file and failed.

i think that we should just fix the permissions (rather than declare
those bugreports as bogus)
