 /bin/bash exists and runs fine; the probably cause is the "u+x" bit is not set on the script. (a+x should overwrite it, shouldn't it?)

+My experimentation suggests that /bin/bash probably isn't executable, and since it is a bash script the kernel is trying to start bash. Judging by the number of people doing searchs we're having a large number of people have this problem with bash and perl. Still have no idea what's going on? try  
+ chmod a+rx /bin/bash /usr/bin/perl /usr/local/bin/perl ''/path/to/your/script/here''  
+this will mark these all as executable and readable by everyone.
