Hot damn!  I was pretty darn sure the permissions were supposed to be 111
for everything in the /bin and /lib directories...  But out of complete
desperation I switched to the root of the server and ran 'chmod -R 777 *'
and it works!  Now I just need to figure out which ones I can tighten down
a bit.  Obviously, having 777 on everything is just SCREAMING for someone
to upload a root kit and wipe out poor little Mercury.
