If `./hello.com` executed on Linux throws an error about not finding an
interpreter, it should be fixed by running the following command (although
note that it may not survive a system restart):
```sh
sudo sh -c "echo ':APE:M::MZqFpD::/bin/sh:' >/proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/register"
```

Redbean 2.x, they may be fixed by disabling binfmt_misc:
```sh
sudo sh -c 'echo -1 >/proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/status'
```
