That's weird.  I didn't think the entry_point magic even got invoked on 
Linux. Is there more information, like distro name/version? Have VMs 
here of various Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu, Mint and Centos-like here where 
could crosscheck. It *could* be a packaging problem, though I don't want 
to point fingers elsewhere without more info.
