+     This test had to be changed to deal with systems where the text segment
+     runs at a different location than the default.  The problem is that the
+     entry address can appear to be outside the text segment, thus causing an
+     erroneous conclusion that the file isn't executable.
+
+     To fix this, we now accept any non-zero entry point as an indication of
+     executability.  This will work most of the time, since only the linker
+     sets the entry point, and that is likely to be non-zero for most systems. */
