You're right. I had wondered the same thing, so I did 'chmod go-r /usr/bin/ocaml' on Debian and got: $ ocaml Fatal error: cannot find file /usr/bin/ocaml But I guess that must have been the ocaml executable trying to read itself, because trying the same thing with other programs, there's no problem.
