ouch, this was a surprise this late in the game. I don't see how you are
going to modify my patch to not need P flag, can you elaborate?

The current binfmt is semibroken as is, for some it works when adding O 
flag but
not all apps is happy with that. I think my patch is the best way solve 
this problem,
all one have to do is to update the binfmt registering(mostly a dist. 
problem) then it
will work for all uses.
