Subject: search_binary_Handler

Hey,

why is search_binary_handler cycles through binary formats?! if there is 
only 3, why don't just return the pointers to then?

also, why does binfmt_misc ,exists?! couldnt we just use 
execve("interpreter","args)) , after reading some first bytes?

since ELF  does read first bytes, can't we just use a ELF subset?!

thanks in advance

i wish to get cc of answers to this email
