No, it looks like an encoding problem:

  stat("/usr/lib/emacs/23.1/x86_64-suse-linux/hexl", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0755, st_size=10680, ...}) = 0
  access("/usr/lib/emacs/23.1/x86_64-suse-linux/hexl", X_OK) = 0
  pipe([11, 12])                          = 0
  vfork()                                 = 2327
  close(12)                               = 0
  close(10)                               = 0
  read(11, "\357\273\277-hex: No such file or directo"..., 16384) = 35
            ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Does this happen in "emacs -Q"?
