This error occured on my system on the /var directory because /dev/hda5 was mounted on /var
with the option "noexec".

+I googled for this, and only found suggestions to make sure /proc was mounted (which it was) and that my interfaces were correctly configured (which they were, and I dont see why this would matter). I asked GreigMcGill, and he suggested /etc/protocols issues: my /etc/protocols was fine, *BUT* my system had taken upon itself to declare my LDAP server as authoritative for protocols in /etc/nsswitch.conf:
+ protocols: ldap [NOTFOUND=return] files
+Deleting the ldap portion (as I don't have protocols info in the LDAP tree) fixed
+ protocols: files.
