THere's no such thing as a win file. Sure its a file made for windoze,
but there is nothing inherently special about windoze binaries that
makes them untouchable on an ext2 filesystem.

That makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Standard shell commands
don't give a hoot what the contents of the file are. They read the file
attributes & inode information like any other file on the filesytem.

I think that's impossible to answer.
At this stage, i'd strongly suspect that you have a filesystem
corruption issue at play. When is the last time that you ran a fsck on
this filesystem, especially with the badblocks option turned on? I'm
getting dangerously close to putting money on the fact that either your
FS or your HD are toast and this 1 file just happens to be the first
sign.
