/usr/bin/figtree is a symlink to an executable JAR file. I believe in
order for executable JAR files to be passed to Java properly, the user has
to be running binfmt_misc (the Linux kernel extension that makes this
work). Without that, the kernel will pass the executable to the shell,
which will then explode with the error messages you show.
