If you get an "exec format" error it means that the file has execute bit
set, and is therefore considered to be executable. If it has the bit set
by mistake (like incorrect mount options for a vfat partition), then
execution will fail. If you remove the execute bit you will see that
double click will open the file with the registered program.
