OK.  After unpacking in the chroot and running file, here is what I get:

(unstable)roberto@miami:/var/lib/chroot/pbuilder-sid/results/tmp$ file usr/share/doc/tbb-examples/examples/parallel_reduce/convex_hull/convex_hull_bench.cpp.gz usr/share/doc/tbb-examples/examples/parallel_reduce/convex_hull/convex_hull_bench.cpp.gz: Minix filesystem, V2, 30 char names, 52542 zones

Running it outside of the chroot on that same system (running Squeeze)
yields the same result.  Running it on the system where I first
encountered the bug (running Lenny still) yields the results I provided
in the earlier mail.
