That's not what I get though -- the size & date don't match what the real
head command are supposed to be (at least, even approximately):
% ls /usr/bin/*{head,lwp-}*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 8635 Sep 2 2001 /usr/bin/autoheader
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 10314 Sep 3 2001 /usr/bin/gatherheaderdoc
-> -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 13932 Dec 21 15:12 /usr/bin/head
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 29965 Sep 3 2001 /usr/bin/headerdoc2html

I don't know what your head file is, but the size is in line with a couple
of the lwp- ones I see on my system, and more importantly the earlier
message indicated that it's some kind of http-head rather than file-head.
Does it respond to flags like '-h' or '--help'? Can you try running it
with filenames & URLs as arguments to probe what it's doing? It's small
enough to be a shell or Perl script -- if so you can read it to see if it
looks like one of these guesses is right.
I think you need to move this to something like /usr/local/bin/http-head,
load your OSX installation disc, and find an old copy of /usr/bin/head on
it so that you can copy it back & restore your system.
