$ ls -l /usr/libexec/pt_chown
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root         5236 Nov  7  2003 /usr/libexec/pt_chown
   There is no execute permission !! It was removed due to some other reason. I will get the permissions set correctly and then verify if the problem goes away.

No, ClearCas= e is _not_ just another source control system, and it
surely isn't like = CVS.  To support dynamic views, ClearCase defines
virtual filesystems, which AFAIK no other VC system does.  It= also
does other virulent changes to the normal Unix environment; in
= particular, setting a view spawns a new shell.

There were gazillions of changes between Emacs 20.7 and = 21.4.  Some of
them somehow interact badly with the shell used= by ClearCase and with
your shell startup files.  There's no w= ay that we could help you
unless you debug the problem(s) on your system and pinpoint the
line= (s) in your shell startup files that cause these error messages.
When yo= u post that information, it is reasonable to expect someone to
come up w= ith an idea how to fix the problem.
